More Than Heaven

“Grounded in covenant theology with a focus on the pactum salutis and in Reformed soteriology with an emphasis on salvation by grace alone, Taylor’s More Than Heaven builds a fresh case for the minority view that Scripture does not teach degrees of heavenly reward based on human merit; any eschatological blessing is earned by Christ alone and obtained by believers by grace alone.”


—Meredith M. Kline, retired director of Goddard Library, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary





“If we believe in justification by faith alone apart from works, what does that do to the idea of degrees of reward in heaven? Jeff Taylor does an excellent service in showing from Scripture that there is only one reward—eternal glory in the new creation, merited on behalf of all the elect by Christ, the second Adam.”
