{"product_id":"word-on-the-purifying-fire-mark-of-ephesus-9798330591886","title":"Word on the Purifying Fire","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work addresses the Orthodox understanding of posthumous purification, namely the Latin doctrine of Purgatory, responding to claims about the liberation of repentant souls through purifying sufferings and assistance from the living. It affirms the efficacy of prayers and liturgies for the deceased, citing historical teachings that support this practice. However, it refutes the idea of a purifying fire or punishment as a means of redemption, instead proposing that souls may experience purification through fear or the torment of conscience. The text ultimately emphasizes God's mercy and the significance of human actions in aiding the departed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark of Ephesus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798330591886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalcassian Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.07d","brand":"Mark of Ephesus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670625702143,"sku":"9798330591886","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/word-on-the-purifying-fire-mark-of-ephesus-9798330591886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
