Synopsis

Immortality Of The And Destiny Of The Wicked by Rev. N.L. Rice. This early 1870s treatise defends the traditional Christian doctrine that the human soul is immortal and that the wicked endure endless punishment after the final judgment. Rice examines the questions surrounding the soul’s nature, arguing that the soul is a spiritual, immaterial entity created by God, not a mere material component. He rejects annihilationism—the claim that the soul dies with the body and ceases to exist—showing that Scripture presents the soul as conscious and active after death, awaiting a future resurrection and a final verdict. The work surveys the intermediate state, the resurrection of the body, and the eternal state of the righteous and wicked, contending that the wicked receive everlasting punishment, not oblivion. Throughout, Rice contrasts immortality with materialism and defends theodical implications of eternal life. The volume is a rigorous, polemical defense of historic Christian eschatology.
