The Life of the World to Come

0/5 ( ratings)

Dom Anscar Vonier, Abbot of Buckfast, was among England's greatest homilists and theological writers in the early twentieth century. In "The Life of the World to Come," he examines eternal life as the greatest expectation of the Christian soul, and the completion of every perfection, of soul and body. Along with a clear and beautiful expositions of the nature of that life, Vonier also gives many wonderful explanations of difficulties Christians may find in understanding the goodness of eternal life: How can we be content knowing that some souls are lost? Does the human personality disappear when it receives a new life? Can a changeless life really be joyful?

"No happier phrase," Vonier writes, "was ever coined than the last sentence of the Nicene Creed. ... The life of the world to come is above all and before all the true life of this world made eternal, immortal, carried to its highest potentialities. The difficulty lies in discernment between the true and illusory life, between the abnormal yearnings of a fallen nature and the steady aspirations of the sound spirit in man."
