| Résumé : |
"The Scriptures," says Dr. Smith, "are our only resource in these days of doubt if it is the truth we sincerely want." The application of this principle has found expression in a study which is contemporary with the space age but eternal in its application. The Biblical Doctrine of Heaven is an exhaustive study of heaven as taught in the Bible.
Few definitive works have been published on the subiect of heaven. This is regrettable since this lofty theme occupies a place of prominence in the Scriptures and it is the goal toward which every Christian strives. Dr. Smith has treated his subject with thoroughness and keen perception. The Biblical Doctrine of Heaven fills a definite need in doctrinal study. The author has undertaken the discussion of such subjects as "The Repudiation of the Idea of Heaven in Modern Thought," "The Meaning of ‘Heaven’ and ‘Heavens' in the Bible," "The Intermediate State," "Occupations of the Redeemed in Heaven," "The Holy City" and “Some Great Hymns About Heaven." His thorough analysis of this important theme is a unique and refreshing study with no modern counterpart. This scholarly work includes extensive footnotes, three appendixes and what may well be the most complete bibliography on the subject of heaven in the English language. Text, author and subject indexes make the information contained in this volume easily accessible. The Biblical Doctrine of Heaven will take its place as the definitive study of heaven for this century. |
