What We'll See in Heaven - Glimpses of Our Eternal Home from the Bible and the Holy Land

John A. Beck

Summary

What Does the Bible Actually Say about What Heaven Is Like?

· Fascinating biblical and Holy Land insights about heaven and the afterlife
· From an expert biblical scholar, educator, and Holy Land guide
· Includes full-color photos

There are times when eternity presses in and we feel drawn to know more about the place we or our loved ones will be going when this life ends. We don't want guesses or pious platitudes; we want specifics. We want certainty. Heaven, paradise, the new heaven and new earth, the new Jerusalem. Whatever you call it--and the Bible uses all those terms--there has to be real, solid information in the pages of Scripture that paints the full picture, right?

In a word, yes. And What We'll See in Heaven was written to bring these biblical pictures of our heavenly home together in one book. Drawing on his decades of teaching, study, and travel in the Holy Land, John A. Beck points us to the many Bible passages that unpack the realities of heaven using the things of this earth the original Middle Eastern audience would have understood, including
· royal settings, such as throne rooms and banquets
· daily living, such as the design of a Galilean home and the nature of Roman citizenship
· the natural world, such as relationships between animals and humans
· the human experience--those things we see, do, and experience every day that will be reflected in our life to come

Whether you're experiencing the grief of bereavement and long to know what your loved one is seeing and doing, or you're just curious about the eternal home that awaits you, this book will bring comfort, peace, and encouragement.

The Theology of Robert Barron

Matthew Levering

In The Theology of Robert Barron, Matthew Levering explores the key themes and sources of Bishop Robert Barron’s theological vision, tracing the development of his thought from his years as a student in the 1970s and 80s to the present. Levering surveys Barron’s theology by studying his critical engagements with a cast of thinkers from his formative period, including Andrew Greeley, Michel Corbin, Raymond Brown, Edward Schillebeeckx, John P. Meier, George Lindbeck, Alasdair MacIntyre, Stanley Hauerwas, and Richard Rohr. Levering shows how Barron appropriated, elaborated, and critiqued the thought of these interlocutors to develop a powerful and nuanced theology of his own. At the center of Barron’s theological vision is the non-competitive Creator God, who radically transcends the order of finite beings while sustaining all things by his power and presence. Because God does not “compete” ontologically with his creatures, he is able to come so near as to become one of us without ceasing to be himself. We encounter Christ as the central character of the drama that unfolds in Sacred Scripture. Barron emphasizes that Christianity is an embodied, communal way of being. To become a Christian is to enter into a distinctive cultural milieu, venerate its saints, adopt its sensibility, and embrace its practices. Levering shows how Barron integrates these speculative, moral, and spiritual dimensions into a theological picture that, although deeply and distinctly Catholic, is also oriented to the world outside the Church and to evangelism.

My Brother’s Keeper? - The...

Guy Chet, Guy Golan

The relationship between the world’s two largest Jewish tribes (in Israel and the United States) is consequential for Jews and for Judaism, but it provides important insights also for Christians – about Jews, Judaism, and Israel, and about America and Christianity. The cultural, sociological, political, and even religious differences that separate Israeli and American Jews highlight the essence of historic and contemporary Judaism. Christian revival always pointed to the Jewish roots of Christianity and of the Christian Bible. Indeed, by gaining a better understanding of Judaism, Christians gain a bette understanding of their own faith and of America’s Judeo-Christian values. 
This book answers the following questions: 
-Is Judaism a religion or a nation? 
-Why are American Jews ambivalent about Israel, whereas Christians support Israel without hesitation? 
-Why are American Jews losing touch with Judaism, whereas Christians are connecting with their own Jewish roots? 
-Why are most American Jews liberal-Democrats, whereas most Israelis are conservative? 
-Why is antisemitism flourishing on the left? 
-Why is American Jewry demographically stagnant, while Israeli Jewry grows by leaps and bounds? 
-What is the future of American Jewry and its relationship with Israel?

Ancient Secrets

We may believe that we know all there is to know about ancient secrets. That nothing new can be discovered. But, nothing could be further from the truth. 
 
We will investigate the origins of civilisation in the tales of Adam and Eve. We will move through the heavens with ancient concepts of astronomy and unravel sacred symbols such as the Ankh. We will visit pyramids and ancient round towers and connect to harmonic frequencies discovered and utilised by our ancestors. And through these we will discover the amazing secrets that our ancestors knew and that subsequent generations have forgotten. We will see how the authorities hid and destroyed evidence and further darkened our vision of the past. But we will finally reveal the sacred secrets that shine a light on the true reality of our very existence. 
 
Welcome to Ancient Secrets.
