Throughout history, Christians have prayed for the dead - both for
continual growth of the faithful and for their advancement from
purgatory, and sometimes, even, for the deliverance of the unsaved
from hell. Understanding Prayer for the Dead defends all three
kinds of prayer. It challenges Protestants, who seldom pray for the
dead, to begin doing so - and Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox,
who pray only for the Christian dead, to include the unsaved as
well. James B. Gould addresses the biblical credentials of prayer
for the dead and provides a historical overview of such prayers
from ancient Christianity to the current practice of the three main
branches of the Church. He also discusses the logical assumptions
prayer for the dead requires - that prayer is effective, that the
dead are conscious, and that the afterlife involves change - and
lays out a theological framework for such prayers. Prayer for the
departed raises the most basic of theological questions, matters
that go to the centre of God's purpose in creating spiritual beings
and redeeming sinful humankind. The argument, while revisionary in
some respects, is orthodox, ecumenical, and integrative, engaging a
range of academic disciplines so as to be biblically accurate,
historically informed, and philosophically reasoned.
