This book makes some good points about how Heaven will be a physical place and that we will live on the new earth. It also entertains the possibility of universalism (a heresy) and perhaps some other false teachings too. Because of the prevalence of such views, it can be beneficial to know how authors argue for them. As with all resources shared here at eChristianResouces, please use biblical discernment when reading. Only accept an author’s conclusions if they fit with the whole of Scripture.

What heaven is, what it isn’t–and why it matters

There’s been an upsurge in interest about the afterlife lately, but according to Randal Rauser, we’re too often limited in our concept of what heaven really is. God’s ultimate purpose goes beyond “pie in the sky in the sweet by-and-by.” Rather, the whole creation will be transformed and renewed. “Heaven,” Rauser says, “is earth multiplied by perfection.”

What will that be like? What implications does it have for life now? This eye-opening book takes you through a series of creative and thought-provoking questions, ultimately leading to the biblical vision of a glorious afterlife consisting of a perfected earth, perfected bodies, perfected human culture, and perfected relationships. This stunning picture of the future will also transform how you understand and even live your life in the here and now.

“I love Randal Rauser because he loves to ask questions, especially hard and controversial questions. And not only does he like to ask them, but he is courageous enough to offer responses. This book on heaven follows that very pattern, and even if you do not agree with all of Randal’s answers, you will find yourself enjoying how much he stretches you in the process.”–Kelly M. Kapic, professor of theological studies, Covenant College
