Review

."..a valuable and welcome contribution to a question that has received far less attention in recent years than it deserves." --Journal of the NABPR

"A contribution to contemporary discussions of echatology that will stand the test of time . . . Consistently unafraid to reconcile the philosophical and theological implications of an omnibenevolent Deity with the clear deliverances of historical Christianity, Walls provides a roadmap to navigate through one thorny dilemma after another among questions of the utmost importance. If you want to read impeccably orthodox, analytically rigourous philosophical theology at its best, I heartily recommend this book."--Philosophia Christi

"Walls has done a fine job of showing us how the study of the afterlife deserves to be featured more prominently in contemporary theological discussion."--First Things

"This is easily one of the best works on heaven in recent years. Walls demostrates the right way to explore it, developing a rich, Christian-specific account of what heaven might be like."-- The Journal of Religion
