Catholic University of America Press is proud to present the second
volume in its new Sayings of the Fathers of the Church Series.
Featuring a wide range of scholars compiling material from our
acclaimed Fathers of the Church volumes, each title will be devoted
to a few specific areas of theology. The inaugural volume covered
The Seven Deadly Sins, and future volumes are planned to focus on
Angels and Demons, the Mass, and Mary. Nothing has the power to
inspire, or terrify us like the unknown. Life after death is the
perhaps the greatest unknown that confronts mankind. But the wisdom
of the Church, especially in the teachings of the Church Fathers,
reminds us that we know a great deal about what awaits us at the
end of life. What the Church knows about the four last things?death
judgment, heaven, and hell?is essential for helping on the way of
the pilgrimage of life. The teachings of the Fathers, far from
sating our curiosity, serve to increase the power of heaven to
inspire us, and of hell to terrify. In this volume, canon lawyer
and writer Edward Condon compiles a book full of wisdom and
compelling insights. More than anything, the Fathers warn us that
our life is short, and the reckoning for how we have lived it
eternal. The urgency of the Church's message, brought to life in
the sayings of the Fathers, comes to remind us of our true calling
and inheritance in baptism, and of the richness of the heavenly
reward, which is not so much the fruit of our efforts on Earth but
the fulfillment of God's promise of love to us. The terror of hell
is not the threat of the dictator, but a dire warning of the true
scope of our freedom as children of God. This book, rich with the
traditional teachings of the church, will guide and inspire readers
as they continue their life journeys, which have a beginning but no
end.
