Christians have all too often failed to think thoroughly and biblically or theologically about the nature of a good word in the final testimony of a person’s life and have instead allowed the practice of eulogizing to be determined by Greco-Roman and popular ideas. This workshop explored what it means to speak the unvarnished truth about the deceased in such a way that the grace of God becomes the focal point rather than the dead person’s decency, niceness, or superlative accomplishments.
