Synopsis

This volume explores the concept of life after death and other subjects, discussing the idea of divine rewards and punishments in the afterlife, with specific focus on the relationship between deeds in life and the nature of rewards and punishments thereafter. The author explores the idea that there is no real connection between the work and the reward, or the offence and the punishment, as imposed by humans. The author suggests that divine punishments grow out of a thing itself, and divine rewards are contained within the very blessedness of the deed itself, or the full enjoyment of acquired possession. Throughout history, many have sought for the 'good', but the author believes that the only lasting, abiding good is to be found in a temperate and thankful enjoyment of this life, and a faith in a life to come.
