"Immortality needs to be mortalized and brought home to our daily life without losing its mystic spell. So many have turned it from a practical task into a theoretical problem; from a Gospel to our will into a riddle to our wits; from a matter of conscience and duty to a matter of poetry and speculation, resting it not on the free grace of God but on the dim presumption of man."
The reaction of a belief in immortality, its moral rebound, upon this life—The egoism of Christ and the egoism of the anti-egoists—The egoism of God, the blessing of the world—Immortality, a vocation rather than a problem—Immortality as a crushing crisis, a searching judgment on life's interior—Time's sacramental secret—The Kingdom of God as the real ground of Christian belief in the soul's future—Immortality, not continued but redeemed life—Immortality as behavior in a new dimension.
