The Four Last Things: Reflections on Death, Judgment, Heaven & Hell

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.

What This Course Offers:

  • Comprehensive Study of the Last Things: Examine Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell through the lens of Catholic teaching.
  • Formation in Christian Hope: Learn why hope is the essential virtue for life's final journey.
  • Expert Instruction: Benefit from the teaching of renowned theologian Dr. Regis Martin.
  • Structured Homeschool Curriculum: Includes streaming lectures and a complete course guide.
  • Understand Death as a Christian: Learn how the Church views death not as an end, but as a passage to eternal life.
  • Explore Divine Judgment: Discover the role of justice, mercy, and personal accountability before God.
  • Reflect on Heaven and Hell: Gain a deeper understanding of humanity's eternal destiny.
  • Strengthen the Virtue of Hope: Cultivate trust in God's promises amid life's uncertainties.
  • Prepare for Eternity: Develop a Christian perspective that transforms the way you live today.

From Sacred Scripture

“For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.”
— Hebrews 13:14

Intended Audience

This course is ideal for homeschool families, adult learners, parish study groups, catechists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Catholic teaching on eternity and the Last Things.
