It concludes that arguments posed by these authors regarding death and medicine cohere with many rich Christian theological claims about the nature of life and death. Turning to St. Augustine and Karl Barth, one sees that the meaning of death and finitude ties to our theological anthropology as vulnerable creatures in relation to God.
