About Hope to Die

In Hope to Die, Scott Hahn, with Emily Stimpson Chapman, explores the Catholic understanding of death, burial, and the resurrection of the body. Drawing on Scripture and Catholic teaching, the authors explain why the human body possesses profound dignity even in death and why Christians honor the dead through prayer, burial, and the Church’s liturgy. Hahn emphasizes that the resurrection of the body is central to Christian hope, pointing toward the ultimate glorification promised by Christ. Accessible and deeply Catholic, the book encourages readers to view death not merely as an ending, but through the hope of eternal life.
