Credits Transcribed from the 1900 Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. edition by David Price
Summary "The Life of the Waiting Soul in the Intermediate State" by R. E. Sanderson is a theological exploration written in the late 19th century. This work examines the beliefs surrounding the Intermediate State, a concept referring to the period after death and before the final judgment. The author aims to clarify common misconceptions in contemporary Christianity about the destiny of souls, making a case for the importance of understanding the existence and nature of this waiting period between life and eternal judgment. The opening portion of the text presents a preamble that sets the stage for a discussion on the anxieties surrounding death and what comes after. Sanderson argues against prevalent beliefs that souls are immediately judged and assigned to heaven or hell upon death, proposing instead that an Intermediate State exists. He emphasizes a need for accurate knowledge about this state, which has faded from common religious discourse, and suggests that this understanding can alleviate fears concerning death. The author references biblical texts to support his arguments, asserting that both good and bad souls experience a waiting period, during which their characters and choices formed during their earthly lives continue to influence their journey in the afterlife.
