Synopsis

Explore lasting questions about immortality, heaven, and the soul in a thoughtful, reasoned exchange.

Letters on the Future Life examines what happens after death through a careful conversation about immortality and the nature of heaven and hell. Drawing on debates with contemporary scholars and reflections on Swedenborg, the work weighs evidence, contrasts different views, and invites readers to consider how belief shapes life now and beyond the grave. The book presents both critical and devotional angles, offering a clear path through complex ideas without heavy speculation.

• Clear questions about life, death, and what may lie beyond the tomb
• Engagement with Swedenborg’s writings and their influence on Christian thought
• Accessible explanations of concepts like heaven, angels, and spiritual development
• A measured approach that blends critique with thoughtful reflection

Ideal for readers of theology and philosophy who want a grounded discussion of the hereafter.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Letters, was Mr. Beecher ssermon on The Hereafter published in Plymouth Pulpit, March 23d, 1872. Three of them appeared first in The Golden A ge; and were favorably received, I am told, by persons of spiritual insight and religious culture. I have, therefore, been induced to add three more of considerably greater length, and to publish them together in their present form ;hoping they may exert some influence in overcoming the still prevalent but senseless prejudice against the seer of Stockholm, and may increase the growing interest in his writings among the reading and thinking cla.feses. Mr. Beecher says that the great Future to which we are going meaning the world which the soul enters when the body is laid aside is now all haze, with here and there a single point jutting out before us. To a large majority of Christians, no doubt it is. But it need not be so. It is not so to that small but steadily increasing band of believers who have become familiar with the writings of the Swedish sage.
