"This book is a roadmap for our journey toward God." Peter C. Phan, Foreword

This new publication from CHA by prominent theologian Thomas F. O’Meara, OP, explores the Catholic Church’s tradition of God’s promise of eternal life. In addition to drawing on Scripture and the writings St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and renowned contemporary thinkers, the book incorporates examples from art, literature and music to illustrate how the Catholic imagination has interpreted and visualized our doctrinal tradition on our journey to the next life.

The new publication is part of CHA’s popular collection of end-of-life guides to help patients, families, physicians, clinicians, pastoral care providers, ethicists, and care givers who deal with decisions about serious illness or death. It is also an ideal reference for professors and graduate students in theology and bioethics.
