The Spirits In Prison And Other Studies of Life After Death by E. H. Plumptree
£ 75.00
A theological exploration of the afterlife from a Christian perspective. Plumptree investigates the nature of the soul, post-mortem consciousness, purgatory and the destinies of the 'righteous and the wicked', using biblical passages and historical contexts to offer insights into the mysteries surrounding death. The title's reference to 'The Spirits in Prison' alludes to a New Testament passage (1 Peter 3:19), a contemplation on the state of departed souls.
