The Emptied Urn and the Empty Tomb

Tweet Share

Christianity Today just posted the article I wrote for them on cremation, burial, and the wounds of Jesus. If you’d like to see it, you can access it here. I’d love to hear your thoughts. And you can vote in Christianity Today’s poll on cremation and burial here.

For another look at cremation, see my article on it from the January/February 2007 issue of Touchstone. It’s titled “Grave Signs,” but I still call it by my original title: “It Is Better to Bury than to Burn.”

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
