Credits: E-text prepared by David McClamrock
Summary: "The Happiness of Heaven" by F. J. Boudreaux is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century. The text explores profound concepts surrounding the nature and experience of heaven, particularly focusing on the Beatific Vision—the direct experience of God that constitutes the essence of happiness in the afterlife. It aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the joys and realities that await those who serve and love God. At the start of the book, the author emphasizes that perfect happiness cannot be found in the earthly realm, suggesting that true fulfillment lies solely in the heavenly experience of God. Boudreaux outlines how, upon reaching heaven, souls not only see God but also experience profound love and joy, culminating in the unity of their will with God's. The opening chapters encourage readers to contemplate their earthly struggles in light of the eternal rewards that await them, establishing a framework of hope based on the transformative power of the Beatific Vision and the glorious joys of life after death.
