Eternal in the Heavens

“Eternal in the Heavens is an elegant, entertaining, and curiously plausible defense of an atemporal heaven. Rigorously argued and rooted in the Christian tradition, this is a wonderful example of constructive analytic theology.”


—David Worsley, lecturer in philosophy, University of York





“Jonathan Hill’s Eternal in the Heavens is an exciting and timely addition to the analytic theological study of afterlife. It’s good analytic theology: rooted in Christian tradition, sensitive to Christian Scripture, and rigorously argued. I can’t wait to respond!”


—J. T. Turner, assistant professor of philosophy, Anderson University





“In this book, Jonathan Hill argues that heaven is not progressive, but a kind of beatific vision of God. Nor is it everlasting. Rather, it is outside time, an atemporal state of communion with the divine. Written with Hill’s characteristic clarity and acuity, this is a first-rate philosophical treatment of heaven that raises, and tackles, some of the most fundamental religious questions about life after death.”
