Death's Broken Power The End of the Christian Life

What is the purpose of a Christian funeral? To help a family grieve? To celebrate a person's individuality? In this final episode, J. Todd Billings and Rev. Dr. Tom Long (Accompany Them with Singing, 2013) discuss historic and current trends in funerals and point to the sacramental realities of a Christian funeral. Recovering the funeral as a completion of baptism invites us to praise the God who conquers death in Jesus Christ.
