Description
Through the centuries, classic authors have written of heaven. In this book, Martindale and seven other essayists comment on nine classic works. They bring to life the beauty and glory of the heavenly city and the agony and ecstasy of the battles waged to get there. From autobiography to epic poem, novel to fantasy, the works discussed here bring to earth the magnificent and cosmic themes of the Christian life.
