Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously explores the doctrine of purgatory through the lens of the Roman Catholic Church. The author delves into the historical development of the doctrine, tracing its roots in ancient Egyptian, Hindu, Persian, Greek, and Roman eschatology. By analyzing the influence of Gnostic and Manichaean religious systems on early Christianity, the book sheds light on the origins of purgatory as a concept. The author presents a comprehensive examination of the doctrine as held and practiced by the Catholic Church today. Drawing from official catechisms, papal decrees, and writings of prominent theologians, the book provides a detailed exposition of the nature, location, and punishments associated with purgatory. It explores the belief that purgatory serves as a temporary state of purification for souls who have died in a state of grace but still require cleansing before entering heaven. Furthermore, the book examines the concept of intercessions for the souls in purgatory, highlighting the role of prayers, masses, and indulgences in alleviating their suffering. Through historical accounts and anecdotal evidence, the author illustrates the belief that the living can communicate with and assist the departed in purgatory, influencing the duration and severity of their punishment. By exploring the historical origins, theological underpinnings, and practical implications of purgatory, this book offers a deeper understanding of a central tenet of Catholic belief. It illuminates the complex interplay between the living and the departed, and the profound impact of this doctrine on the spiritual practices and experiences of Catholics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331557586_0
