Eschatology - Pohle, Joseph

. .

Résumé :
Confronts the last questions with austere clarity. This is theology made urgent. Joseph Pohle's Eschatology offers a disciplined, systematic presentation of the Catholic last things doctrine. As a catholic eschatology treatise and a thoughtful christian theology book, Pohle guides the reader through the core affirmations and controversies surrounding immortality and resurrection, the principles of judgment and afterlife, and the traditional accounts of heaven, hell and purgatory.

That combination makes the work an effective seminary study resource and a dependable catholic scholar reference...
