Death is not the endaeither for humans or for all creatures. But
while Christianity has obsessed over the future of humanity, it has
neglected the ends for nonhuman animals, inanimate creatures, and
angels. In Decreation , Paul J. Griffiths explores how orthodox
Christian theology might be developed to include the last things of
all creatures. Griffiths employs traditional and historical
Christian theology of the last things to create both a grammar and
a lexicon for a new eschatology. Griffiths imagines heaven as an
endless, repetitively static, communal, and enfleshed adoration of
the triune God in which angels, nonhuman animals, and inanimate
objects each find a place. Hell becomes a final and irreversible
separation from Godaannihilationasin's true aim and the last
success of the sinner. This grammar, Griffiths suggests, gives
Christians new ways to think about the redemption of all things, to
imagine relationships with nonhuman creatures, and to live in a
world devastated by a double fall.
