Ep. #282 - The Beatific Vision w/ Dr. Samuel G. Parkison

Dr. Samuel G. Parkison joins the show to discuss his recent book Gaze Upon God which provides exposition and defense of the beatific vision. He defines the doctrine and walks us through several important Scriptures to expound it. I also ask Dr. Parkison how the blessed can be truly happy in Heaven if loved ones end up in Hell. _____________ The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
