Following the Theological Method Proposed in Vatican II's decree Optatum totius, Theology of the Beyond is an extraordinarily comprehensive, systematic, and up-to-date study of what the Church teaches about death, heaven, hell and purgatory from a biblical, patristic and theological point of view. An ecumenically rich work, it is a valuable tool for both the theological specialist and the average layperson interested in getting to know more about this subject that affects us all. Originally published in Spanish, this master work has been translated into several languages and has gone through a number of revisions and editions. This edition reflects the very latest of these.
