The Heaven of Christianity is different from all other Heavens, because the religion of Christianity is differe t from all other religions. Christianity is the rel gian of Cities. I t moves among real things. Its sphere is the street, the market-place, the working-life of the world.

And what interest one for the present in John's vision is not so much what it reveals of a Heaven beyon , but what it suggests of the nature of the he venly life in this present world.
