The State of the Impenitent Dead

By Alvah Hovey

Book Overview

The State of the Impenitent Dead is a book written by Alvah Hovey and published in 1858. The book deals with the question of what happens to the souls of people who die without repenting of their sins. Hovey argues that these souls are not immediately consigned to eternal punishment, but rather exist in a state of ""suspended animation"" until the final judgment. He draws on biblical and theological sources to support his argument, and also engages with the views of other theologians and philosophers on the subject. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the topic of the afterlife. Overall, The State of the Impenitent Dead is an important work in the field of Christian theology and a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of the afterlife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
