Project Gutenberg 2008-06-17 Public domain in the USA. 92 Smyth, J. Paterson (John Paterson) 1852 1932 Smyth, John Paterson Paterson-Smyth, J. (John) The Gospel of the Hereafter E-text prepared by Al Haines "The Gospel of the Hereafter" by J. Paterson Smyth is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the Christian understanding of life after death, exploring topics such as the intermediate state of souls, the concepts of Heaven and Hell, and the journey of the soul from the earthly realm to the divine. Smyth seeks to provide comfort and insight to those grappling with loss, a fundamental aspect of human experience, while also emphasizing the continuity of the self through the transitions of existence. The opening of the book introduces the profound and often perplexing concept of the self, represented by the singular word "I." Smyth engages the reader in a contemplative journey, prompting them to reflect on the nature of their identity beyond their physical body and psychological faculties. He asserts that while the body and brain undergo constant change, the essence of the self remains unchanged. Within this discourse, he hints at the challenges presented by death—often viewed as a finality—contrasting it with the Christian belief in a continuation into a vibrant and conscious afterlife. By establishing a foundation of understanding the nature of the self, Smyth prepares readers to embrace the exploration of the soul's future adventures in the hereafter.
