Publisher's Synopsis
The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is a book written in 1833 by Rayner Menzies. The book is a retelling of the biblical parable found in the Gospel of Luke, in which a rich man and a poor beggar named Lazarus both die and end up in different places in the afterlife. The rich man is sent to Hades, a place of torment, while Lazarus is taken to the bosom of Abraham, a place of comfort.Menzies uses this parable to explore themes of wealth, poverty, and the afterlife. He argues that the rich have a responsibility to help the poor, and that failure to do so will result in eternal punishment. The book is written in a straightforward, accessible style, making it suitable for both religious and non-religious readers.Overall, The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most famous parables in the Bible. It challenges readers to consider their own attitudes towards wealth and poverty, and to reflect on the ultimate consequences of their actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
