In Sweet and Blessed Country, John Saward takes an altarpiece from
fifteenth-century Provence as his starting-point for a theological
exposition of the Christian hope for Heaven. The altarpiece,
Enguerrand Quarton's Coronation of the Virgin, was painted for
Carthusian monastery, and so it is monastic theologians,
principally Denys the Carthusian, who guide Saward in his
exploration of the "sweet and blessed country" in which the angels
and saints contemplate the face of God. John Saward's book breaks
new ground not only in content, but also in style and method. He
discusses a subject, eschatology (the doctrine of last things),
which is generally neglected today, and although he observes the
disciplines of scholarship, he also reaches out to a readership
beyond the academy. This theology of Heaven, faithfully rooted in
the Catholic tradition, offers enlightenment to every Christian who
seeks understanding of his hope, and encouragement to every human
being who yearns for ultimate fulfilment.
