Both, says Hans Boersma in this sacramental and historical treatment of the beatific vision... Seeing God is a historical study, but it also includes a dogmatic articulation of key characteristics that contribute to our understanding of the beatific vision... Boersma shows how God trains us to see his character by transforming our eyes and minds, highlighting continuity from this world to the next. Christ-centered, sacramental, and ecumenical in character, Seeing God presents life as a pilgrimage to see the face of God in the hereafter.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Hans Boersma</note> <subject> <topic>Vision -- Religious aspects -- Christianity -- History of doctrines</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Heaven Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">236.24</classification> <classification authority="ddc">H249-B67</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802880192</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13013/s.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13013/s.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071213.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
