Seeing God

Seeing GodThe Beatific Vision in Christian Tradition Winner of the Christianity Today Book Award in Theology Ethics To see God is our heart's desire, our final purpose in life.

In this informed study of the beatific vision, Hans Boersma focuses on "vision" as a living metaphor and shows how the vision of God is not just a future but a present reality.
