Paradise Understood: New Philosophical Essays about Heaven systematically investigates heaven, or paradise, as conceived within theistic religious traditions such as Rabbinic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It considers a variety of topics concerning what life in paradise would, could, or will be like for human persons. The collection offers novel approaches to questions about heaven of perennial philosophical interest, and breaks new ground by expanding the range of questions about heaven that philosophers have considered.

The contributors wrestle with questions about human life in paradise that span the spectrum of the major subfields of philosophical enquiry. By employing both historical and contemporary philosophical resources, the volume makes a pioneering contribution toward answering pressing questions about human life in paradise. It will serve as a platform for future research, reinvigorating philosophical investigation into these neglected topics within philosophy of religion.

Industry Reviews

There is much erudition, insight and precise and careful reasoning on display throughout. * Philip G. Ziegler, International Journal of Systematic Theology *
T. Ryan Byerly and Eric J. Silverman have edited an impressive collection of 17 new essays dealing with these and other problems related to the possibility and desirability of Heavenly existence, its presuppositions, and its implications...All of the essays are of the highest standard of analytic theology, and I can only recommend the book to anyone interested in one of the most important themes of theological reflection concerning the Christian hope for the world to come. * Benedikt Paul Goecke, Reading Religion *
The contributions to this volume should provide rewarding food for thought about a wide range of issues, to theists and non-theists alike. * Evan Fales, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
