“According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking.” LittlesEndsMatterArgumentConvincedPermanentThe End Of The DayHeroicAdmirableManlyStylishBartimaeus TrilogyHeroic Death Book:Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book Three: Ptolemy's Gate Source: Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book Three: Ptolemy's Gate

“"Gospel preachers nowadays preach the gospel of the Crucifixion, the Apostles preached the gospel of the Resurrection as well. The Crucifixion loses its meaning without the Resurrection. Without the Resurrection the death of Christ was only the heroic death of a noble martyr; with the Resurrection it is the atoning death the Son of God. It shows that death to be of sufficient value to cover our sins, for it was the sacrifice of the Son of God."” WellsShowsValuesChristLosesSinSacrificeSonNobleSufficientHeroicResurrectionPreacherMartyrApostlesCrucifixionHeroic Death Author:R.
