Publisher's Synopsis
Mercy and Judgment is a book written by Frederic William Farrar, which explores Christian eschatology, or the study of the end times. The book is primarily a response to Dr. Pusey's What Is Of Faith, and seeks to provide a counterpoint to Pusey's views on the subject. Farrar's book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the doctrine of the last things, including the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment. Farrar argues that these events are not to be understood in a literal sense, but rather as symbolic representations of spiritual truths. The second part of the book deals with the question of eternal punishment, and whether or not it is consistent with the character of God. Farrar argues that the traditional view of hell as a place of eternal torment is incompatible with the idea of a loving God, and suggests that a more merciful interpretation of scripture is needed. Overall, Mercy and Judgment is a thought-provoking exploration of Christian eschatology, and provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of the end times and the fate of the soul.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
