The first edition of ‘Instead of Death’, a critique of both the institutions of the Church and the more secular but no less destructive institutions of the state, became a small classic. After its publication, Stringfellow’s life was deeply affected by a serious illness, his work in East Harlen, and his efforts on behalf of the cause of women’s ordination to the priesthood. Thus, although a substantial portion of the original text was unchanged, his experiences had given him added insights that were expressed in two new chapters: one on money and the struggle for security, the other on the politics of death and life. A long preface dealing with Stringfellow’s motivations for writing this expanded version of ‘Instead of Death’ is also included.
