Deacons Pod: What Happens After You Die? – Fr. Robin Ryan, CP

March 11, 2025

In this episode of Deacons Pod, the Paulist Deacon Affiliates speak with Fr. Robin Ryan, CP, author of the new Paulist Press book “Life is Changed, Not Ended: An Introduction to Christian Eschatology.”

Christian eschatology is the study of the “last things” including death, immortality of the soul, resurrection, and the end of time.

Fr. Ryan’s book ends with a reflection on Julian of Norwich’s teaching about hope grounded in the love of God as exemplified by the passion of Christ, and considering the mystery of suffering.

A member of the Passionists, Fr. Ryan is professor of systematic theology and director of the Master of Arts in the theology program at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.

He also is author of the Paulist Press books “God and the Mystery of Human Suffering” and “Gazing on the Face of Christ: A Christ-Centered Spirituality.”
