Overview

With all that the Bible has to say about eternity, much is still left to question. What actually happens when we die? Over 130 years ago, Frederic William Farrar presented a series of sermons that sparked one of the greatest eschatological debates in Christian literature. Before Farrar published Eternal Hope, thousands of copies of the sermons contained within it had been publicly distributed without his knowledge. Farrar’s ideas were wildly popular with the masses, and intensely debated in scholarly circles. Farrar used a focused study of Scripture to redefine what modern Christianity had thought to be hell. E. B. Pusey challenged Farrar’s ideas in his book, What Is of Faith As to Everlasting Punishment?

Late Victorian Eschatology brings together six intimately related texts discussing heaven, hell, and what happens on the other side of death. Mercy and Judgment is Farrar’s rebuttal to Pusey’s argument, and Thoughts on Immortality is J. C. Ryle’s contribution to eschatology and his own remarks on Eternal Hope. The Unsafe Anchor is C. F. Childe’s review of Eternal Hope, and Robert Baker Girdlestone provides a fresh eschatological examination of Scripture with Dies Iræ.

With the Logos edition of Late Victorian Eschatology, these fascinating writings automatically integrate with your Logos library, allowing you to cross-reference them and study eschatology like never before.
