Awake, Oh Sleeper!: What the Bible Says About Heaven, Hell, Resurrection and Eternity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798393550592)

Have you ever thought about resurrection and eternal life?

Has the thought ever crossed your mind: If we're already going to heaven with Jesus when we die, then why is our future resurrection such a big deal?

If so, this book is for you.

"Awake, Oh Sleeper!" is an overview of what the Bible really says about heaven, hell, eternity and the afterlife. In a conversational tone, David Morton analyzes over 150 Biblical passages, and provides support for the position known as conditional immortality, or conditionalism.

You'll read about:

• Why resurrection is so much more important than we think it is.
• How our modern concepts of heaven and hell came to be the mainstream view.
• Why the mainstream view is likely not what the original authors intended.
• What the Bible teaches about the "intermediate state".
• How traditional interpretations change the typical meanings of words to support doctrine the Bible does not teach.
• How deeply God loves mankind that he would save us (all!) from eternal conscious torment.
• Why conditional immortality offers a Biblical "third way" between traditionalism and universalism that still allows for God's justice, but rejects the concept of eternal torment.

The topics covered include immortality, Sheol, resurrection, heaven, hell, eternal life, and why any of this even matters. David offers Biblically sound interpretations of problem passages, interpreting them by their historical and cultural context, to bring out the truth that is in the Bible.

If you trust the integrity of the Bible, but eternal conscious torment is a theological rock in your shoe, this book is what you're looking for.
