Life Everlasting: The Unfolding Story of Heaven (Explorations in Biblical Theology)
Overview
When seeking information about heaven, Christians often look in the wrong places. In Life Everlasting Dan C. Barber and Robert A. Peterson point readers to the proper source for understanding the new heavens and earth: the Bible. Tracing the themes of heaven and the new creation from Genesis through Revelation, Life Everlasting is a practical and hopeful treatment of the Christian’s ultimate destination.
Top Highlights
“Is there a sense in which heaven as the presence of God refers to the present state?” (Page 12)
“God tells us about heaven to affect us deeply now and to increase our joy and anticipation of Christ’s future return” (Page 8)
“when is heaven? Is it now, when we die, or when Christ returns?” (Page 11)
“We need to recover a biblical perspective on heaven” (Page 7)
“‘Christians often talk about living with God ‘in heaven’ forever. But in fact the biblical teaching is richer than that: it tells us that there will be new heavens and a new earth—an entirely renewed creation—and we will live with God there.’” (Page 33)
