Word on the Purifying Fire - Paperback
by Mark of Ephesus (Author), Nico Hatzi (Translator), D. P. Curtin (Translator)
This work addresses the Orthodox understanding of posthumous purification, namely the Latin doctrine of Purgatory, responding to claims about the liberation of repentant souls through purifying sufferings and assistance from the living. It affirms the efficacy of prayers and liturgies for the deceased, citing historical teachings that support this practice. However, it refutes the idea of a purifying fire or punishment as a means of redemption, instead proposing that souls may experience purification through fear or the torment of conscience. The text ultimately emphasizes God's mercy and the significance of human actions in aiding the departed.
