In "The Jewish Way in Death and Meaning", Maurice Lamm presents a compelling top-down argument for life after death, emphasizing the goodness of God. He contrasts his views with traditional arguments based on human nature, such as those proposed by Aquinas. Lamm suggests that life is a divine gift, instilling an expectation of resurrection as a natural consequence. Through his theological exploration, he elucidates the Jewish perspective on mortality, the afterlife, and the implications of faith in God's attributes.
