| Résumé : |
Ever since the Ascension of Jesus, Christians have professed belief in an afterlife. To most, the nature of that life remains a mystery; thus, serious students must ask hard questions about eternity:
• What does the Bible really say about life after death? • Is heaven a "place" or a "state"—or both? • Does anyone actually go to hell? • Does the soul "sleep" after death? • Can Protestants believe in "purgatory?" In his study, Peter Toon tackles these and many other questions that trouble thoughtful Christians—often with startling answers. After examining every important scriptural reference to heaven and hell in the Bible, Toon traces the development of Christian eschatology from the Church Fathers, through Medieval and Reformation theologians, to present-day Catholic and Protestant teachers. Thorough research and documentation make Heaven and Hell a perfect introductory text for students of theology in colleges and seminaries, and a welcome addition to the libraries of pastors and teachers on this contested aspect of belief in immortality. |
