David Bentley Hart engages in a profound meditation on ancient religious responses to death and how the Christian conception was entirely subversive of the political and cosmic order they had established. In the course of his talk, he cautions Christians against espousing that previous vision of death (in which death is somehow necessary and part of God's established order), for in doing so they betray the heart of the Gospel narrative. A short Q&A session follows.
