An Examination Of The Doctrine Of Future Retribution: In Connection With The Moral Nature Of Man, The Principle Of Analogy And The Sacred Scriptures

by Hosea Ballou

""An Examination Of The Doctrine Of Future Retribution"" is a book written by Hosea Ballou, which explores the concept of punishment in the afterlife in connection with the moral nature of man, the principle of analogy, and the sacred scriptures. The book delves into the idea of whether or not there is a divine retribution for the sins committed in life and if it is justifiable according to the moral principles of humanity. Ballou uses various sources to examine this doctrine, including the Bible, philosophical arguments, and the principles of analogy. The book provides a detailed analysis of the concept of punishment in the afterlife and its implications for humanity, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of religious beliefs and their relationship to morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
