Where to from Here?: The Christian Vision of Life After Death

by Brian Grogan

Eschatology, as the author notes, has been closed for repairs for quite some time past. This book opens up the doors, with new insights and images of what may be ahead for us. The argument throughout is that God's loving relationship with us, revealed in Jesus Christ, cannot be broken. Well-worn topics such as general judgement, hell, heaven and purgatory are treated in a fresh and intelligibly satisfying way, while concise and illuminating treatment is given to human solidarity in Christ, universal salvation, the divinisation of humankind and the future of the material world. Of course, this brief overview opens up more questions than it answers, but it offers a fresh departure in exploring a dimension of reality too long neglected.

[Eddie Weingart · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a recent book club pick. A little repetitive in style, yet an overall good book. Easy reading for those who are new to theological and philosophical writing, a little facile for those who are not so new. I felt the author lacked some backbone in his doctrinal arguments. However, if you're looking for an easy to read, thought provoking book on the subject of life after death, this may be a great book for you or a discussion group.
