The Heaven Promise<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\nThe paperback edition has a small group study guide that Tara Beth Leach developed.<\/p>\n
From a theology of heaven\/kingdom, we can derive a vision of Christian living in the here and now. Ignoring a theology of heaven\/kingdom diminishes themes of ultimacy and final justice and reconciliation and peace.<\/p>\n
What is being taught about heaven in your context?<\/strong><\/p>\nDo you believe, as I do, that heaven has fallen off the radar for many pastors and theologians? Why is this happening? (Is overdoing in the past a reason to ignore it today?)<\/strong><\/p>\nNo pastor pastors very long without needing and being asked about a theology of heaven\/kingdom.<\/p>\n
