Excerpt from Immortality and the Future: The Christian Doctrine of Eternal Life
IN the vast field of religious history, so various in belief and custom, it is impossible to select more than a few characteristic types of ethnic eschatology. These cast light on the Christian hope either by contrast or by their historical and preparatory influence.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores eschatology, the study of death, the afterlife, and the final judgment, in both the historical and religious context. The author traces the development of eschatological thought from its roots in primitive animism through its expression in major world religions, including Judaism and Christianity. The book examines the differing ideas about the afterlife, such as the Greek concept of an underworld and the Christian belief in resurrection and eternal life. It also delves into the concept of judgment, retribution, and the nature of heaven and hell. Ultimately, the book provides a comprehensive examination of humanity's fascination with the unknown, and the hope and fear that has inspired religious thought.
