Publisher's Synopsis
""A Distinct View Of The Doctrine Of Purgatory"" is a book written by an anonymous Catholic priest in 1846. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the doctrine of purgatory, which is a concept in Catholic theology that refers to a state of cleansing or purification after death for those who have not fully atoned for their sins during their lifetime. The author argues that the doctrine of purgatory is not only supported by scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church, but also by the early Church Fathers and the patriarchs of the Old Testament. The book also emphasizes the Protestant roots of the doctrine, as it was originally accepted by many of the reformers, including Martin Luther and John Calvin. In addition to its theological arguments, the book also presents a rational defense of the doctrine of purgatory, addressing common objections and misconceptions. The author contends that the doctrine is not only logical, but also necessary for a proper understanding of God's justice and mercy. Overall, ""A Distinct View Of The Doctrine Of Purgatory"" provides a thorough and compelling defense of this controversial Catholic doctrine, drawing on a wide range of sources and arguments to present a nuanced and comprehensive view of purgatory.Bearing In All These Stages The Character Of Universality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
