Nowadays, we often hear that there is no eternal life, that the other world is a fiction, and for a person everything ends in death. Yes, the law of death is common to all humanity. Death is inevitable for everyone. But with physical death, life is not completed. For Orthodox Christians, the future afterlife is an indisputable truth, this is the teaching of the Church. This book, based on the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of the Church Fathers, provides evidence of the immortality of the soul, talks about ordeals, the bliss of the righteous and the torment of sinners, and collects statements of great scientists and philosophers about the mystery of immortality. The book is recommended by the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church. Source: The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program.
