The Promise of Life: And the Doctrine of Everlasting Punishment is a book written by James Forbes B. Tinling in 1881. The book explores the Christian doctrine of everlasting punishment, which is the belief that those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their savior will suffer eternal damnation in hell. Tinling argues that this doctrine is not only supported by scripture but is also necessary for the moral order of the universe. He also discusses the promise of life that is offered to believers in Christ, which is eternal life in heaven. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes references to biblical passages and theological arguments. Overall, The Promise of Life is a thought-provoking exploration of a controversial Christian doctrine that continues to be debated to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
