What is Christian life and Christian hope : raids on the inarticulate about?

<p>What is the destiny of the human soul in this life and the next? Dare we hope to see God face to face,' or will our vision of God remain forever filtered through a glass, darkly'? In this remarkable volume, Rowan A. Greer turns to the New Testament, the church fathers, and later writers to throw light on their own visions of the human soul. He suggests that Augustine of Hippo and Gregory of Nyssa represent two distinct strands of Christian thinking that find expression later in writers such as John Donne and Jeremy Taylor. Greer, who has trained two generations of historians and theologians in the rich thought of the early church, has succeeded in writing a volume that is both full of original scholarly insight and, by virtue of his elegant writing, accessible to laypeople and non-specialists.</p>
