Synopsis

The Dogma of Hell explores the basic Catholic doctrine on Hell, purposefully awakening in the reader a profound realization of its reality and eternity of horrors. Eminent French theologian Fr. F. X. Schouppe, S.J., author of Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints, has written here a similar but much smaller book. In short chapters, he has recounted numerous true stories, apparitions of the damned, and complete Catholic teaching on Hell. He clearly shows that for those who are not motivated to do good out of love of God, the fear of Hell is a legitimate and often salutary motive for avoiding sin. Although the subject matter is frightening, the ultimate purpose of this book is not to frighten souls, but to help them avoid damnation by reminding them of the pain and suffering in an eternity spent in the absence of God.

I wish this had been a bigger book. The subject matter was rather deep and serious. Set your eyes solely on Heaven! Don't give in into the temptations of the devil and his minions. Be steadfast, firm and resolute in your faith! Guard yourself against the evils of the world. Ask Our Blessed Mother to......more

I will never look at mortal sin the same way. Stay close to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and avoid sin. Hell is real, so set your sights on Heaven. If you doubt there is an afterlife, read this book.......more

Interesting collection of stories of those who returned after death to warn others that hell was real and it wasn't hard to get in to. I think it would make a nice stocking stuffer for just about everyone.......more
