| Summary: | The hope of eternal happiness has been challenged recently in the English-speaking world. An argument famously put forward in an article by Bernard Williams calls into question the very coherence of the Christian faith. Williams contends that the whole idea of eternal happiness is incoherent because no matter how delightful the joys of heaven, they would inevitably become boring. The essay at hand presents and discusses current attempts to rebut Williams's argument. |
