Interpretation and reception
Letter on Certain Questions Concerning Eschatology

Affirms resurrection of the whole person, a conscious spiritual element surviving death, and a glorious manifestation of Christ distinct from the immediate postmortem condition. Warns against arbitrary imaginative descriptions of the afterlife.
