A Pilgrimage to Eternity
Author: Timothy EganPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735225249
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
From "the world's greatest tour guide," a deeply-researched, captivating journey through the rich history of Christianity and the winding paths of the French and Italian countryside that will feed mind, body, and soul (New York Times). "What a wondrous work! This beautifully written and totally clear-eyed account of his pilgrimage will have you wondering whether we should all embark on such a journey, either of the body, the soul or, as in Egan's case, both." --Cokie Roberts "Egan draws us in, making us feel frozen in the snow-covered Alps, joyful in valleys of trees with low-hanging fruit, skeptical of the relics of embalmed saints and hopeful for the healing of his encrusted toes, so worn and weathered from their walk."--The Washington Post Moved by his mother's death and his Irish Catholic family's complicated history with the church, Timothy Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers to force a reckoning with his own beliefs. He embarked on a thousand-mile pilgrimage through the theological cradle of Christianity to explore the religion in the world that it created. Egan sets out along the Via Francigena, once the major medieval trail leading the devout to Rome, and travels overland via the alpine peaks and small mountain towns of France, Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a quirky cast of fellow pilgrims and by some of the towering figures of the faith--Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, Martin Luther. The goal: walking to St. Peter's Square, in hopes of meeting the galvanizing pope who is struggling to hold together the church through the worst crisis in half a millennium. A thrilling journey, a family story, and a revealing history, A Pilgrimage to Eternity looks for our future in its search for God.
The Last Pilgrimage to Eternity
Author: Cyril L. CasparPublisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839442540
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
With the advent of the reformation, concepts of living and dying were profoundly reconfigured. As purgatory disappeared from the spiritual landscape, other paths to the afterlife were rediscovered. Thus, when life draws to a close, the passage to the afterlife becomes a last pilgrimage, a popular early modern metaphor that has received little critical commentary. In a rigorous historical and theological reading, Cyril L. Caspar explores five major English poets - John Donne, Sir Walter Raleigh, George Herbert, Edmund Spenser, and John Milton - to unveil the poetical potential of the last pilgrimage as a life-transcending metaphor.
Passage to Eternity

Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Passage To Eternity aims at aligning one's consciousness to what is acceptable and desirable to God. This is achieved by inspiring the believer to a life of devotion and consecration. The re-awakening creates the desire to commune and relate with God in a very personal and practical way. This motivation leads to a New Birth. As one progresses as a Christian, one is faced with the realities of death and eternity, the issue of life after death. Man is made up of two composites, the material and non-material parts. The material part of man is the physical body. This is subject to death and decay. Death is the irreversible separation of the physical body from the non-material parts. The Bible reveals this continued conscious existence after death. It also stresses on personal accountability, for what the soul has done with our physical bodies on earth. In the spiritual world a selection process distinctly determines the destiny of any soul. At the end, a soul is either ministered to by satanic agents of Death and Hades or angels of God. The righteous are resurrected to stand before the judgment seat of Christ to be rewarded. The names of these righteous ones are listed in a book of life. People who fail the selection process will be judged to condemnation and doomed to perpetual damnation. Our resurrected body shall flow from the nature of the earthly body. The nature of life in eternity is perpetual and the quality is determined by the quality of the life on earth. In eternity, there is no more conditioning; no time again to make amends. The time to sow for eternity is here on earth
Rethinking Hell

Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.
