Synopsis

Christ Our Life: The Scriptural Argument For Immortality Through Christ Alone by Charles Frederic Hudson presents an extended, scriptural defense of conditional immortality. Hudson argues that the Bible does not grant universal, inherent immortality to the soul; instead immortality is forfeited by sin and restored through Christ as a life-giving gift. The work analyzes key texts—Luke 20:35-38, 1 Corinthians 15, and others—to challenge the notion that ‘they cannot die’ applies to all humanity, and to defend the doctrine of the second death or annihilation for the wicked. It surveys semantic usage of life and death in both testaments, discusses the nature of eternal life, and argues that eternal punishment denotes destruction rather than endless conscious torment. The book also offers collateral discussions on the Apocalypse and the history of Christological views, aiming to harmonize reason, revelation, and Christian hope.
