"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.
