Philo Agora's talk next Tuesday, 25 August will be Chris
Pennington, .on Heaven is an ineffectual reward
In a very enjoyable talk, Chris notes the many conflicting
descriptions of Heaven in the Bible, the Koran, and other
writings.Given all the contradictions he wonders what it might
possibly be like. He finally concludes that it would be quite a
worry, especially if you are stuck there for all eternity.
Chris is the General Manager of an IT company with a strong interest
in Heaven. His book on this topic can be found at
