Fr Brian Grogan on Life After Death - broadcast Sunday 5 Feb 2012

Fr Brian Grogan SJ has just published a new book called Where to from Here which looks at the issue of eschatology. Eschatology, as the author notes, has been closed for repairs for quite some time. This book opens up the doors again, with new insights and images of what may be ahead for us. The argument throughout is that God's loving relationship with us, revealed in Jesus Christ, cannot be broken. Well-worn topics such as General Judgement, hell, heaven and purgatory are treated in a fresh and intelligibly satisfying way, while concise and illuminating treatment is given to human solidarity in Christ, universal salvation, the divinisation of humankind and the future of the material world. Of course, this brief overview opens up more questions than it answers, but it offers a fresh departure in exploring a dimension of reality too long neglected.
