David Albert Jones focuses upon the writings on death of four outstanding Christian thinkers, Ambrose of Milan, St Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Karl Rahner. His study is relevant to the current euthanasia debate, but also considers broader issues, such as how we should act in the face of death's approach.

David Albert Jones considers two basic questions: how can we live well in the face of death? and when, if ever, is it legitimate deliberately to bring human life to an end? He focuses upon the distinct theological approaches to death shown by four outstanding Christian thinkers: Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and Karl Rahner. Jones''s aim is not primarily to make a contribution to the history of theology, but rather, through engagement with the thought of theologians of the past, to reflect on some of the practical and existential issues that the approach of death presents for all of us.
