What Is Death? Five Foundational Principles

Every human being, at one time or another, has questions about death, but Scripture is the only place where we can turn for good answers to those questions. Apart from Scripture, we cannot even define death. In this lesson, Dr. Waters examines why the subject of death is largely ignored in the world and sometimes even in the church before giving a preliminary sketch of what death is from Genesis 1–3.
