"Death disarmed of its sting" by Lyman Hotchkiss Atwater is a discourse written in the mid-19th century, specifically around the 1840s, as a tribute to the memory of Hon. Roger Minott Sherman. This book serves as both a funeral sermon and an exploration of Christian perspectives on death and the afterlife, drawing on theological themes to confront the inherent fears associated with mortality. In the discourse, Atwater reflects on the nature of death and its relationship with sin, positing that the true sting of death comes from the consequences of sin and the law of God. He emphasizes the transformative power of Christianity, wherein believers are granted victory over death through faith in Jesus Christ. Through vivid illustrations and a heartfelt portrayal of Sherman’s life, Atwater provides comfort to the bereaved, assuring them that death, rather than being an end, is a passage to eternal life for those who believe. Ultimately, the discourse is a heartfelt reminder of the hope found in faith amidst the sorrow of loss, highlighting the enduring legacies of love and virtue that outlive mortal existence.
