Summary

1. The idea of heaven on earth haunts the human imagination. The day will come, say believers, when the pain and confusion of mortal life will give way to a transfigured community. Such a vision of the world seems indelible. Even politics, some reckon, has not escaped from the realm of the sacred: its dreams of the future still borrow their imagery from the prophets. 0In 'Heaven on Earth', T.J. Clark sets out to investigate the very different ways painting has given form to the dream of God's kingdom come.
