About This Book

The author surveys scriptural texts and related philosophical considerations to address what happens after death and what awaits the wicked. He presents close exegesis arguing that the dead remain unconscious until a resurrection, that immortality is conditional and granted to the redeemed, and that punishment for the wicked culminates in cessation rather than eternal conscious torment. The narrative refutes spiritualist, purgatorial, and universalist interpretations, offers responses to philosophical objections, and provides chapter footnotes and an index of biblical passages to support a systematic, Bible-centered resolution of these questions.
