Heaven, Hell, . . . and Purgatory?

What is our destiny? The final end of humanity and the universe is a subject of perennial interest, especially for Christians. What are we promised? Will anyone finally be left out of God's intentions to bless humanity? What sort of transformation will be needed to enter the presence of God? These questions have been at the heart of Christian teachings about last things. The 2013 Pro Ecclesia Conference of the Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology focused such issues on the theme "e;Heaven, Hell . . . and Purgatory?"e; The six essays in this volume cover a range of topics of interest to Catholic, Evangelical, and Orthodox theology.
