Talks on death and resurrection drawn from Schmemann's Russian broadcasts on Radio Liberty, translated by Alexis Vinogradov and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press in 2003. The chapters take up why the apostle Paul calls death the last enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26), how death came to seem stronger than life, Christ's answer to it, the resurrection and Pascha.
