In heaven, we will meet our friends: this was one of the most conspicuous expectations Christians had, and continue to have, of life after death. This book explores how the rediscovery and development of the 'meeting again' theme by authors such as John Bunyan and Emanuel Swedenborg and by the artist William Blake created a modern heaven.
