Sommario/riassunto |
|
Explores the many and complex reasons for the gradual erosion of the idea of heaven in the modern era. This work sheds light not only on the history of Christian thought, but on the process of secularization in the West. It also shows us the grubby soul of our materialistic and uncritically scientific society. |
