The Art of Dying Well

De: St. Robert Bellarmine

Narrado por: Laurence Todd

St. Robert Bellarmine (1542 - 1621) was an Italian Jesuit and a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. He was canonized a saint in 1930 and also named a Doctor of the Church. He was a central figure in the Counter-Reformation as a supporter of the Council of Trent. He was a professor of theology and he later became the rector of the Roman College. In 1602, he became Archbishop of Capua.

The Art of Dying Well gives a rough sketch of how to live life well, so that one can die well, and have confidence before the judgment seat of Christ. It is a timeless classic of the Catholic world, and the advice St. Bellarmine gives rings as true now as it did 400 years ago.

Fantastic!

I can't recommend this book enough. It is so good. Spiritually enlightening, it even answered a number of my historical questions. It is Spiritually advanced, yet I think one who is young in his faith will find St Robert's work of tremendous importance & value.

Spiritually encouraging

I thought the narrator did a good job. Even though the last chapter didn’t seem to really be about extreme unction, I thought it was also helpful to me and in my opinion the best chapter in the book.

Informative

An informative review and examination of some basic tenets of faith and Christian life that are often lost or forgotten. Not always easy to understand but a very in-depth discussion. Appreciated this book!
