Popular Beliefs are the Biblical?
State of the Dead by
Dr. Samuele Bacchocchi
What is the view of different religions about the afterlife? What is the perspective of Egyptians, Greek, Jews, and Christians about Immortality of the Soul? Why did the reformers reject the belief about purgatory? How do the different sects of Christianity evaluate the Bible? Is the Bible free from errors or full of errors? Why are there historical attacks against the Bible, like preventing its distribution and reading by the Roman Empire, Moslems, Communists, and even Catholics and Protestants themselves?
These are some of the questions that Bacchocchi answered. In this book, he presented the popular beliefs that we have today and explained that not because it’s popular, it’s biblical, because it turns out that many of our beliefs are rooted in Greek philosophy. He reexamined if these beliefs are still in harmony with the teachings of Jesus’ day and back it up with what the Bible had said. It was the sincere hope of the author that the truth that God revealed for our salvation could be recovered.
