The spirits in prison and other studies on the life after death

By E. H. Plumptre

Subjects: Future life, Eschatology, Christianity

Description: Is there salvation beyond the grave? What about those who died in infancy, or died as uneducated savages, and what about those of severely limited intellectual capacity who spent their lives in idiocy? Plumtre addresses these questions in this thought provoking book. He brings to light what the early church believed and the heresies which crept in through the Popish doctrines of indulgences and purgatory. Did the correction to doctrine brought about by the reformation swing too far on the pendulum to exclude all coming to salvation after the grave? Plumptre argues the case for salvation after the grave for those in special circumstances.
