Here and Hereafter

Author: Uriah Smith Language: English Publisher: Teach Services INC Cover: Paperback Size: 5.25x8.25 inches ISBN: 9781572585744 Here and Hereafter, originally written in 1873, deals with whether or not the dead are conscious, the soul is immortal, and the wicked will be eternally tortured. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the disputes over these teachings; almost every relevant text is brought to bear on the controversies at issue. It deals solely with biblical interpretation on the doctrines concerning the state of the dead. Using Scripture alone, Smith decisively destroys the doctrines of the immortality of the soul and eternal torment. All people on either side of the dispute, whether they agree or deny that people have souls that go to heaven, hell, or purgatory upon death, will find this book spiritually profitable to read.
