About This Book

The author presents a systematic Catholic exposition of the happiness awaiting the blessed, translating scriptural symbols into accessible explanations of heavenly goods. The work surveys biblical imagery of the heavenly city and its delights, explains the nature of the beatific vision and participation in divine glory as the soul's supreme good, outlines the moral and spiritual dispositions that dispose one to that reward, and offers consolations and practical motives for virtuous living and endurance of suffering. Citations and references to authoritative theologians support the discussion while language and illustrations are adapted for a wide readership.
