Bibliography of Heaven
For those interested in reading more about heaven
here are some books worth reading. I would recommend starting with
C.S.Lewis' Weight of Glory and then reading the chapters in his The Problem
of Pain. The books are in no particular order.
| C.S.Lewis |
The Problem of Pain, chapters 8 and 10.
Available in C.S.Lewis Selected Books, 1999 Harper Collins
|
|
"The Weight of Glory" published originally
in Transposition and Other Addresses which is now republished under
the titled The Weight of Glory or in the omnibus edition which is
better value titled Selected Essays, 1999, Harper Collins
|
|
The Screwtape Letters also published in Selected
Books, 1999 Harper Collins
|
|
The Great Divorce also published in Selected Books
1999, Harper Collins |
|
|
| Peter Kreeft |
The Shadow-lands of C.S.Lewis, Ignatius Press, 1994,
an anthology of Lewis' writings as they relate to the Shadowlands.
|
|
Everything that you wanted to know about Heaven but never
dreamed of asking, Ignatius Press, 1990
|
|
Heaven, the Heart's Deepest Longing, Ignatius 1980 |
|
|
| John Gilmore |
Probing Heaven - Key Questions on the Hereafter,
Baker 1989. |
|
|
| David Lawrence |
Heaven..it's not the end of the world!, Scripture Union,
1995 |
|
|
| Jeffrey Burton Russell |
A History of Heaven, Princeton University Press,
1997 pricey but scholarly and readable (a rare combination) |
|
|
| Richard Baxter |
The Saint's Everlasting Rest, Hodder,1994. This
classic written by Baxter when he thought he was dying became a mammoth
volume (he did not die quickly). This is the abridged edition - the
full edition is in print again from Mentor Press. |
|
|
| Anthony A. Hoekema |
The Bible and the Future, 1979, Eerdmans. For
my mind the best introduction to the doctrine of the last things
(eschatology). See chapter 20 in particular for heaven. |
|
|
| William Hendricksen |
The Bible on the Life Hereafter, 1959, Baker.
Still in print and presented in a useful question and answer format.
Also include discussion questions. |
