Excerpt from Tekel: An Examination and Refutation of the Materialistic or Dead-Sleeping Theology
The subject of which it treats 1s one of the most interest ing and solemn that can occupy the human mind. It comes home to every heart, whether old or young, rich or poor. Rude or cultivated, since all alike must die, and death, to mere mortal view, is a dark, inevitable and hopeless fate.
Without revelation we know nothing positively of a hé yond. From the day we first comprehend this our fate, we walk along the path of our' life with the full knowledge that at any hour of any day we may be summoned away from our pleasant homes, from the sunlight of life, from all our associations, all our aspirations, and consigned to the grave.
The light of God's revelation alone illuminates this dark and disconsolate outlook, lifts up as it were a corner of the impenetrable veil, and gives comforting glimpses of a glor ious spiritual world beyond.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history of the Materialist Heresy, a theological movement that gained prominence within the Christian church in the 19th century, which denied the existence of spirits and souls and claimed mankind is entirely physical in nature and ceases to exist after death. The author provides an incisive analysis of the textual exegesis employed by the movement's proponents and contends that their approach to biblical interpretation was flawed. The author also questions the motivations of the movement's leaders, suggesting that many were driven by a desire for sensation and controversy.
