The Dogma of Hell by Rev Fr F X Schouppe

The Dogma of Hell by Rev Fr F X Schouppe

The Dogma of Hell explores the basic Catholic doctrine on Hell, purposefully awakening in the reader a profound realization of its reality and eternity of horrors. Eminent French theologian Fr F X Schouppe, SJ, author of Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints, has written here a similar but much smaller book.
In short chapters, he has recounted numerous true stories, apparitions of the damned, and complete Catholic teaching on Hell. He clearly shows that for those who are not motivated to do good out of love of God, the fear of Hell is a legitimate and often salutary motive for avoiding sin.
Although the subject matter is frightening, the ultimate purpose of this book is not to frighten souls, but to help them avoid damnation by reminding them of the pain and suffering in an eternity spent in the absence of God.

F.X. (Father X) S.J. Schouppe, S.J. Schouppe, S.J. Schouppe was a prominent nineteenth-century theologian. Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints and The Theology of Hell were his works. Despite the fact that the subject is horrific, his goal with the latter work was not to sensationalize or horrify, but to educate people about the truth of Hell and to instill in them a fear of losing Heaven.

P.V. Tolstoy's The Dogma of Hell was first published in 1883. The Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur were used to print Hickey and Purgatory Explained in the late 1800s.
