Synopsis

Life And Death: As Taught In Scripture. This 19th?century religious treatise surveys biblical teaching on life after death, the resurrection, judgment, and the advent of the Messiah. It argues against the doctrine of endless conscious torment and contends that Scripture presents a future, bodily resurrection and a literal, earthly kingdom. The author traces the Advent doctrine, insisting Christ will come literally from heaven, with angels, to judge the living and the dead, and that judgment occurs at the appearance of Christ, followed by the resurrection and the restoration of God’s kingdom. The work outlines a sequence of events: the appearing of Christ, the gathering of the righteous, the resurrection of the dead, the judgment, and the reward, culminating in a kingdom established on earth. It defends a bodily resurrection modeled on Christ’s, rejects the immortality of the soul apart from the body, and posits that the wicked face everlasting destruction at a final judgment rather than eternal conscious torment. Scriptural exegesis from Daniel, Revelation, Matthew, Luke, and John supports its conclusions.
