520    Death is not the end -- either for humans or for all 
       creatures. But while Christianity has obsessed over the 
       future of humanity, it has neglected the ends for nonhuman
       animals, inanimate creatures, and angels. In Decreation, 
       Paul J. Griffiths explores how orthodox Christian theology
       might be developed to include the last things of all 
       creatures. Griffiths employs traditional and historical 
       Christian theology of the last things to create both a 
       grammar and a lexicon for a new eschatology. Griffiths 
       imagines heaven as an endless, repetitively static, 
       communal, and enfleshed adoration of the triune God in 
       which angels, nonhuman animals, and inanimate objects each
       find a place. Hell becomes a final and irreversible 
       separation from God -- annihilation -- sin's true aim and 
       the last success of the sinner. This grammar, Griffiths 
       suggests, gives Christians new ways to think about the 
       redemption of all things, to imagine relationships with 
       nonhuman creatures, and to live in a world devastated by a
       double fall
