Eternal Life

“Heaven” is a concept that both remains deeply rooted in culture and contemporary, everyday life and is a relevant term in (Judeo-Christian) tradition and theology. The diverse approaches of theology (and its history) as well as the supposed self-evident nature of the topic lead to a plurality of understandings and conceptions of heaven. In order to handle the topic of “heaven” in a responsible manner and with precision in the field of (systematic) theology, it is necessary to reaffirm what “heaven” does (and does not) mean.
