Description
Excerpt from The Doctrine of Endless Punishment
AT the request of the editor of the North American Review, the author of this book prepared an argument in defence of the doctrine of Endless Punishment, which was published in the number of that periodical for February, 1885. It was agreed that the writer should have the right to republish it at a future time. Only the rational argument was presented in the article. The author now reproduces it, adding the Biblical argument, and a brief historical sketch.
Every doctrine has its day to be attacked, and defended. Just now, that of Eternal Retribution is strenuously com bated, not only outside of the church, but to some extent within it. Whoever preaches it is said, by some, not to preach to the times - as if the sin of this time were privileged, and stood in a different relation to the law and judgment of God, from that of other times.
