Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines the inclusion of Revelation 21:27 in the modern purgatorial debate. The nature of this discussion includes historical and post Vatican II documentation addressing the Roman Catholic Doctrine of Purgatory. The Vatican II era demonstrates an indication of an Hebraic worldview shift in papal thought, which has in part given rise to this area of debate. The major question expressed is, "Does the use of Revelation 21:27 validate the Doctrine of Purgatory?" The conclusion will show the Doctrine of Purgatory is based in the writings of man rather than the inspiration of Scripture, thus removing any assertion of scriptural validation.
