Publisher's Synopsis
Divine Penology is a philosophical exploration of the concept of retribution and future punishment, as it is understood in the context of reason, science, revelation, and redemption. Written by L.B. Hartman and originally published in 1898, this book delves into the theological and philosophical underpinnings of the idea that wrongdoing must be punished, both in this life and in the afterlife. Hartman examines various religious traditions and philosophical schools of thought, from ancient Greece to modern Christianity, in order to shed light on the nature of divine justice and the role of punishment in the moral order of the universe. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of theology, philosophy, and history, Hartman presents a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the concept of retribution and its implications for human behavior, morality, and spirituality. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and ethics, and the perennial question of how to live a good and virtuous life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
