Heaven

A History

by Colleen McDannell and Bernhard Lang

A history of Christian images of heaven from the Bible to the twentieth century. The authors distinguish theocentric visions centred on God from anthropocentric ones that imagine family reunion and human activity, and trace how each prevailed in different periods.
