"It is the second day of my trial. The whole performance is tiresome and monotonous in the extreme. On one side-the side of the prosecution, the side against me-the case is legally perfect, on my side there is practically no defense; and surrounded as I am by powerful and subtle political influences, I have come to the conclusion that I have as much chance of success-or escape-as the proverbial snowball in Hades. . . ."

In Modern Purgatory, Book II of The High Comedy, Twersky is fresh out of Hell and finds himself on the beach of Mount Purgatory, home of the seven terraces aka the Seven Deadly Sins. He is lucky to find a new friend in Cato, his guide up the mountain. Each terrace has a redemption center where he must pass scrutiny in order to move up to the next terrace. It is on this treacherous climb that Twersky strives to come to terms with his own defects and weaknesses. It is a perilous ascent, and to make matters worse, Twersky is plagued by something evil, a trickster bounty hunter who is determined to bring him back to Hell. His goal is to reach the top of the mountain, home of the lush and lovely Garden of Eden, the last stop before the lift-off into Heaven where all Empyreans pledge to fight on the good side.

After purgatory was officially defined by the Catholic Church in the thirteenth century, its location became a topic of heated debate and philosophical speculation: Was purgatory located on the earth, or within it? Were its fires real or figurative? Diana Walsh Pasulka offers a groundbreaking historical exploration of spatial and material concepts of purgatory, beginning with scholastic theologians William of Auvergne and Thomas Aquinas, who wrote about the location of purgatory and questioned whether its torments were physical or solely spiritual. In the same period, writers of devotional literature located purgatory within the earth, near hell, and even in Ireland. In the early modern era, a counter-movement of theologians downplayed purgatory's spatial dimensions, preferring to depict it in abstract terms--a view strengthened during the French Enlightenment, when references to purgatory as a terrestrial location or a place of real fire were ridiculed by anti-Catholic polemicists and discouraged by the Church. The debate surrounding purgatory's materiality has never ended: even today members of post-millennial ''purgatory apostolates'' maintain that purgatory is an actual, physical place. Heaven Can Wait provides crucial insight into the theological problem of purgatory's materiality (or lack thereof) over the past seven hundred years.

Richard K. Fenn focuses on the significance of time in modern society, and why we take it so seriously. He traces contemporary western attitudes toward time back to the doctrine and myth of Purgatory. Fenn makes a provocative case that especially for Americans the sense of the scarcity of time is a sign of social character, shaped by a 'purgatorial complex'. He demonstrates the impact of Purgatory on Protestant preachers such as Baxter and Channing, but also argues that Locke's views of religion, education and the nature of the state can only be understood in this context. Seriousness about time has become evidence of the good faith of the citizen. Novelists like Robbins, Mailer, Vonnegut and Brautigan portray a society that oppresses the individual through time constraints. For Dickens, America seemed a purgatorial wasteland: a place where time is always of the essence.

People say they've been through Hell-not like Lieutenant Hector Ramirez. What started as an ordinary mission turned from FUBAR to a whole lot worse. Now Ramirez is left picking up the pieces and coming to terms with his grief. His plane flight back to the States lands at the foot of a mountain. And Ramirez steps off the plane to find the man who just led him through Hell-Virgil. Ramirez just wants to make it home to his wife and daughter, but Virgil tells him that the weary soldier has much further to go. Millions of people crowd the gates of the city, but the turmoil outside is nothing compared to the trials and tribulations of the mountain. Each Terrace holds a different test. Can Ramirez come to terms with the horrors and revelations he faced in Hell? What tests await on the mountain of Purgatory?

One of the most profound, deeply affecting questions we face as human beings is the matter of our mortality--and its connection to immortality. Ancient animist ghost cultures, Egyptian mummification, late Jewish hopes of resurrection, Christian eternal salvation, Muslim belief in hell and paradise all spring from a remarkably consistent impulse to tether a triumph over death to our conduct in life. In After Lives, British scholar John Casey provides a rich historical and philosophical exploration of the world beyond, from the ancient Egyptians to St. Thomas Aquinas, from Martin Luther to modern Mormons. In a lively, wide-ranging discussion, he examines such topics as predestination, purgatory, Spiritualism, the Rapture, Armageddon and current Muslim apocalyptics, as well as the impact of such influences as the New Testament, St. Augustine, Dante, and the Second Vatican Council. Ideas of heaven and hell, Casey argues, illuminate how we understand the ultimate nature of sin, justice, punishment, and our moral sense itself. The concepts of eternal bliss and eternal punishment express--and test--our ideas of good and evil. For example, the ancient Egyptians saw the afterlife as flowing from ma'at, a sense of being in harmony with life, a concept that includes truth, order, justice, and the fundamental law of the universe. "It is an optimistic view of life," he writes. "It is an ethic that connects wisdom with moral goodness." Perhaps just as revealing, Casey finds, are modern secular interpretations of heaven and hell, as he probes the place of goodness, virtue, and happiness in the age of psychology and scientific investigation. With elegant prose, a magisterial grasp of a vast literary and religious history, and moments of humor and irony, After Lives sheds new light on the question of life, death, and morality in human culture.
