: I have to write a paper about augustine and the eternal life and I need some info. from you Guys so please anyone who have ideas write me an email
: thank you
: I really apreciated
I ume you mean, what the eternal life wil be like, rather than how one gets there? Augustine wrote a lot more about the latter, but you should be able to do one on the former, too.
You should read the last book of City of God and see what aspect of Augustine's description grabs your interest. One thing that interests me in this regard is his teaching on divinization--that in a sense glorified Christians will be gods, sharing the divine nature, being unable to sin or die, but not quite subsumed into God in the way the Eastern Church tended to speak of it.
