Book Overview

An Autumn Dream: On The Intermediate State Of Happy Spirits (1867) is a philosophical and theological work by John Sheppard. The book explores the concept of the intermediate state, or the state of being between death and the afterlife, from a Christian perspective. Sheppard argues that this state is a time of rest and happiness for the righteous, who are awaiting their final judgment and entrance into heaven. He draws upon biblical passages and theological traditions to support his arguments, and also addresses common objections and criticisms of the concept of the intermediate state. Overall, An Autumn Dream is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of an important aspect of Christian belief.With Collections On The Separate State And On The Immateriality Of Mind, To Which Is Appended, A Dissertation Concerning The Mind Of The Lower Animals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
