About This Book
Language: Eastern Armenian. Publisher: Holy Etchmiadzin, 2-nd Revised Edition, 2016. The book presents the traditional approach to the question of cremation, which is demonstrated to be unbiblical and is in fact rooted in the pagan disdain for the body. Our practice of burial follows the example of the Lord Jesus and expresses respect for the body, which according to Christian doctrine will rise together with the soul. It is a theological treatment of one of the most widespread and fast-growing non-Christian practices within the Christian Church today. This is an excellent guide for pastors and the faithful in a delicate topic of the ultimate decisions.
