Tobias Churton on Mapping Paradise: A History of Heaven & the Afterlife

The Virtual Alexandria rejoices when Tobias Churton arrives, and this time he’ll discuss his latest book, Celestial Realms: A History of Heaven since before the Dawn of Time. He’ll provide a comprehensive investigation into the diverse ideas and experiences of the afterlife across a vast range of religious and cultural traditions throughout human history. We’ll explore everything from the ancient mythologies of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the sophisticated concepts found within the world’s major religions and Indigenous cultures. You’ll engage with the enduring question of whether a celestial realm is a physical home for the gods, a moral reward, or a deeply felt inner state of being. And you know we’ll cover the Gnostic idea of the Pleroma.
