Seeing God : The Beatific Vision in Christian Tradition

---

Outline: To see God is our heart's desire, our final purpose in life. But what does it mean to see God? And exactly how do we see God - with our phsysical eyes or with the mind's eye? In this informed study of the beatific vision, the author focuses on "vision" as a living metaphor and shows how the vision of God is not just a future but a present reality.
This book is both a historical theology and a dogmatic articulation of the beatific vision, of how the invisible God becomes visible to us. In examining what Christian thinkers throughout history have written about the beatific vision, the author explores how God trains us to see his character by transforming our eyes and minds, highlighting continuity from this world to next. Christ centered, sacramental, and ecumenical, the author's work presents life as a never-ending journey toward seeing the face of God in Christ both here and in the world to come.
