Description
The Beatific Vision: A Central Doctrine for the Church Today The doctrine of the beatific vision has been largely forgotten within the church, yet it remains a vital aspect of Christian theology. This book reintroduces the beatific vision, exploring its biblical foundations and historical significance, and its relevance for the life of the church today. Parkison examines the beatific vision through the works of key theologians, including Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Gregory Palamas, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards. By tracing the development of this doctrine, Parkison argues that seeing God is our ultimate end, and that the beatific vision remains a central hope for Christians.
