This book explores the state of the faithful departed and the good offices performed on their behalf by the living within the Christian church up to the Council of Chalcedon. It takes the position that unchanging doctrine can only be established by universal acceptance, antiquity, and consent. The author argues that prayers for the faithful departed were present in the early church and examines the arguments for and against prayers for and invocation of saints. The book also discusses the possibility of forgiveness of sins at the moment of resurrection rather than relying on the long process of sanctification. In tracing the historical development of these ideas and practices, this book underscores the importance of an informed understanding of Christian theology through the ages for all who seek to live the Christian life authentically and effectively.
