Heaven: the Heart's Deepest Longing

A major book on the subject of heaven since The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, this expanded edition of Heaven examines the hunger for heaven that is so strong in all of us. Fascinating and upbeat, Heaven thoroughly explores the psychological, philosophical and theological dimensions of this search for total joy and for ultimate reality that grounds it. Drawing upon the substance of experience, Kreeft points up the centrality and significance of this most basic heart's-dynamic, the longing for heaven. As it probes the failure of our modern, idolatrous society to provide answers to the essential human questions of hope and happiness, Heaven also provides a solution to the fundamental riddle of death and points the way beyond the meaninglessness of atheistic and secular philosophies.
