Heaven

In this groundbreaking study of heaven, George Sumner Weaver explores the many different ways in which the afterlife has been conceived of throughout history and across cultures. Drawing upon a wide range of religious and philosophical traditions, Weaver offers an innovative and provocative interpretation of the concept of heaven, and challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about life after death. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of religious thought and the question of what lies beyond this life.
