Catholic Eschatology And Universalism: An Essay On The Doctrine Of Future Retribution (1876) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436931816)

Catholic Eschatology and Universalism: An Essay on the Doctrine of Future Retribution is a book written by Frank Nutcombe Oxenham and first published in 1876. The book delves into the Catholic Church's teachings on eschatology, which is the study of the end times and the ultimate fate of humanity. The author discusses the concept of universalism, which is the belief that all souls will eventually be saved and reconciled with God. Oxenham argues that Catholic eschatology is compatible with universalism, and that the traditional view of eternal damnation is not supported by scripture or the teachings of the early Church fathers. He examines various passages from the Bible and the writings of theologians such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas to support his argument. The author also addresses objections to universalism, such as the idea that it undermines the importance of moral behavior.Overall, Catholic Eschatology and Universalism is a thought-provoking exploration of a controversial topic within the Catholic Church. It provides a detailed analysis of the doctrine of future retribution and offers a compelling case for the compatibility of Catholic eschatology and universalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
