Description

A concise treatise on Christian eschatology — death, judgment, heaven, hell, the destiny of the person. The reader follows biblical sources and the history of interpretation across centuries of Church thought, written from early-twentieth-century liberal scholarship without throwing away reverence.

Author

W. O. E. Oesterley (1866–1950) was a Church of England theologian and professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at King's College, London. Born in Calcutta to a merchant and consular family, he wrote widely on biblical doctrine, Judaism, and the religion of ancient Israel.
