Book Details + Condition: Scarce first edition from 1907 of Henry Buckle's THE AFTER LIFE: A HELP TO A REASONABLE BELIEF IN THE PROBATION LIFE TO COME. Blue boards with gilt on front and on spine. In very good condition: bumped and rubbed corners; wear to board and spine edges; foxing to front and rear endpapers; interior is clean and free of markings. The author argues that belief in the
existence of an intermediate or probationary realm as the first step after
death — and before heaven — was passed from the religion of the ancient Jews
and into Christianity and only fell from the Anglican tradition due to
misunderstandings resulting from Wycliffe's translation of the Bible. Contents include: Life on Earth; Life in Hades; Life at the Resurrection; The Hebrew Idea About Sheol; The Teaching of Jesus About Hades; Spirits; and much more (please see picture of the ToC for more detail).
