The theme of the Q&D is how to develop explosive strength. I don’t play any sports or do martial arts, so I initially thought this book would be of no interest to me.

Specifically it warns that those who sin, both the quick and the dead, will be judged by Jesus Christ. In other words, it implies that God is able to act on the sins of a person whether that person is alive (quick) or has passed into the afterlife (dead).
Summary. At the same moment Osip Mandestam described Acmeism as nostalgia for world culture, he declared, according to his widow, that ‘he would disown neither the living nor the dead.’.
