The word Heaven occurs in the Lord’s Prayer twice and in the Nicene Creed three times. The clauses which contain it are: ‘Our Father which art in heaven’; ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’; ‘Maker of heaven and earth’; ‘Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven’; ‘He ascended into heaven’. A single sentence, recurrent in the Gospels, is as familiar as these: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand’, or more briefly, ‘The kingdom of heaven’.

Autorenporträt
Charles Williams (1886–1945) was a significant figure in the mid-20th century British literary scene, known for his versatile contributions as a poet, novelist, theologian, and critic. A member of the Inklings, a literary discussion group that included C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Williams is often remembered for his unique blend of Christian mysticism, romanticism, and supernaturalism. His work 'He Came Down from Heaven' (1938) is a profound exploration of the Incarnation, reflecting his complex theology and deep Anglican faith. Williams's literary style is characterized by its dense, allusive nature, weaving together aspects of the spiritual and the secular. He was also noted for his works of fiction, such as 'War in Heaven' (1930) and 'Descent into Hell' (1937), which are marked by the same metaphysical and spiritual concerns seen in his non-fiction. This seminal figure's legacy endures through his influence on Christian thought and literature, and his works continue to attract scholarly attention for their imaginative power and theological depth.
