How will we be judged? What awaits us beyond this life? <strong>The Four Last Things</strong> confronts these eternal questions with clarity, wisdom, and hope, drawing upon Sacred Scripture, Catholic theology, and the rich spiritual heritage of the Church.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">Taught by renowned theologian Dr. Regis Martin, this course explores the realities that every soul must eventually face: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. Far from encouraging fear, these reflections help Christians cultivate the virtue of hope and live with greater purpose, confidence, and readiness for eternity. Through engaging lectures and profound insights from saints, theologians, and Church tradition, students discover why an awareness of the Last Things is essential to authentic Christian discipleship.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">While the modern world often seeks to avoid discussions of death and eternity, the Christian tradition teaches that remembering our final end helps us live well in the present. By contemplating God's justice, mercy, and promises, students learn how to face the future not with anxiety but with trust in Christ, who has conquered sin and death and opened the gates of eternal life.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fdfcf0;

    The Four Last Things

    By Dr. Regis Martin · Published by TAN Books

    Overview

    Every human heart asks the same ultimate questions: What happens when we die? How will we be judged? What awaits us beyond this life? The Four Last Things confronts these eternal questions with clarity, wisdom, and hope, drawing upon Sacred Scripture, Catholic theology, and the rich spiritual heritage of the Church.

    Taught by renowned theologian Dr. Regis Martin, this course explores the realities that every soul must eventually face: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. Far from encouraging fear, these reflections help Christians cultivate the virtue of hope and live with greater purpose, confidence, and readiness for eternity. Through engaging lectures and profound insights from saints, theologians, and Church tradition, students discover why an awareness of the Last Things is essential to authentic Christian discipleship.

    While the modern world often seeks to avoid discussions of death and eternity, the Christian tradition teaches that remembering our final end helps us live well in the present. By contemplating God's justice, mercy, and promises, students learn how to face the future not with anxiety but with trust in Christ, who has conquered sin and death and opened the gates of eternal life.
