Synopsis
There are many interpretations of this subject ranging from the Catholic Purgatory to the Protestants who believe in some kind of probation for men after death; from a preaching which took place in the days of Noah, to a preaching after Christ s resurrection through the instrumentality of the Apostles. Some interpretations have forced words out of their natural meaning and usage; some have disregarded the laws of grammar and construction; some have taken the passage out of its context; while others have never attempted to bring this Scripture into harmony with the scope and design of the Epistle as a whole. However, for any interpretation of this passage to be accepted as satisfactory it: 1. Must take all the words in their natural meaning and Scriptural usage. 2. Must be uniform and consistent in its translation. 3. Must give due weight to the inexorable laws of grammatical construction. 4. Must give the passage its logical place in the context. 5. Must harmonise it with the general teaching of the whole Epistle, and not merely cleverly explain it as though it were an isolated passage; but must show that it is absolutely necessary to the argument.

About the Author
Ethelbert W. Bullinger D.D. (1837-1913) was a direct descendent of Heinrich Bullinger, the great Swiss reformer who carried on Zwingli s work after the latter had been killed in war. E.W. Bullinger was brought up a Methodist but sang in the choir of Canterbury Cathedral and trained for and became an Anglican minister before becoming secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society. He was a man of intense spirituality and made a number of outstanding contributions to biblical scholarship and broad-based evangelical Christianity.
Review
This booklet is a compilation of E.W. Bullinger s booklet The Spirits in Prison and the chapter of the same title in his book Selected Writings. The only difference, other than set out, was that in Selected Writing some of the footnotes were included in the text, while others, more technical in character, were excluded altogether. In this production the more general footnotes are included in the text, and the more technical ones have superscripts and are added as endnotes on pages 26-29. --Michael Penny
