A History of Heaven: The Singing Silence
Jeffrey Burton Russell
Explores the brighter side of eternity: heaven. Dispensing with the images of goodness that can make even heaven seem unbearable, this book stimulates our imagination with a history of how the joy of paradise has been conceived by writers, philosophers, and artists for whom heaven was an imminent reality.
