Heaven And Hell On Earth

Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket

Following his defeat in the War in Heaven, Satan and his minions have fled to Earth where they fight to establish a worldly kingdom and end the dominance of humankind. Satan, in the guise of a New Age holy man, has created a new faith based on world unity and peace. But his real goal is to bring about a new dark age where he is worshiped as god. He manipulates humanity and its politics to place a man loyal to him, the Beast, in charge of Europe’s government. The Beast is opposed by the Christian community. Among those standing in his way are Christian evangelists Chris and Serena Davis. Only with them out of the way can his ambition become reality. Journey along in this exciting and fascinating story as Chris and Serena fight against spiritual, physical, and emotional challenges every step of the way.
