" i n B A T r i o r H A c r T ” By Rev. W illiam E dw ard C lark W e a re glad to recomm end th is sm all volum e dealing w ith th e s ta te of th e dead, to the careful consideration of Bible stu d en ts. M uch confusion h as existed over th e su b jects of hell, sheol (o r h a d es), and th e grave, because of u n fo rtu n ate renderings in th e E nglish. P a sto r Russell took a d v an tag e of th e situ atio n to c arry o u t his teach in g s of an nihilation an d denial of fu tu re punishm ent. Mr. C lark goes b ack to th e original te x t so fa r as possible and show s th e m eaning of th e w ords “ sheol” an d “h ad es.” H e follows these w ords through th e en tire Bible a n d m akes clear th e connections in w hich th ey a re used. T he answ ers to m any q u estions th a t have puzzled godly souls, will be found in th is book. H ades is show n to be the equivalent of th e O ld T estam en t w ord “ sheol,’’ desig n atin g the place to w hich all d ep artin g sp irits w ent p rio r to th e S aviour’s resu rrectio n . Both w ords, u n fo rtu n ately , a re rendered “hell” in the K ing Jam es version, w hereas hell, a s the fu tu re place of punishm ent, is clearly distin g u ish ed by o th e r w ords. M r. C lark show s th a t vario u s activ ities are represented as tak in g place in hades, w hereas in th e grave th ere is no know ledge. The ascension of C h rist em ptied -hades of th e sp irits of th e redeem ed w ho h ad aw aited th e ato n em en t in the P arad ise section of th e sp irit w orld, so th a t henceforth the sp irits of th e saved go im m ediately to P arad ise above, w hile th e unsaved aw ait th e ju dgm ent in hades.— Book Review, May, 1928, K. B.
