Grounded in Heaven

Eschatology and ethics are joined at the hip, says Michael Allen, and both need
theocentric reorientation. In Grounded in Heaven Allen retrieves the
traditional concept of the beatific vision and seeks to bring Christ back into
the heart of our theology and our lives on earth.
Responding to the earthly-mindedness of much recent theology, Allen places his
focus on God and the heavenly future while also appreciating ways in which the
Reformed tradition provides a unique angle on broadly catholic concerns.
Reaching back to classical ethics as well as its reformation by Calvin and
other Reformed theologians, Grounded in Heaven offers a distinctly Protestant
account of the ascetical calling to be heavenly-minded and to deny one's self.
