Future Retribution: Viewed in the Light of Reason and Revelation
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This compelling read questions the commonly accepted theories on humanity's fate after death and takes a critical look at the narratives, both theological and popular, espoused by Christianity. The author sets out to examine the foundational tenets of Christianity itself by assessing the various beliefs held regarding concepts of justice and divine retribution. The author argues that such doctrines, when framed through the lens of human understanding, can seem unjust, and that when viewed through the lens of supposed divine justice may differ substantially from our own comprehension. Key moral questions which inform our understanding of what is fundamentally 'good' and 'evil' are explored. The author posits that such quandaries are the very things on which our enlightened conscience and moral sense can decide. To that end, the book claims that popular belief varies considerably regarding the conditions which Christianity is said to set forth regarding entry into Heaven or consignment to Hell. In this work, the author also challenges the assertion that due to mankind's finiteness, an accurate understanding of the infinite (i.e. God) is impossible to attain, arguing that such an assertion severs the possibility of divine understanding entirely.
