The Biblical Basis for Purgatory

By: John Salza

Narrated by: Kevin F. Spalding

Jesus taught us about it, and for centuries, the Church has faithfully defined and defended it. Protestants deny it even exists, while many Catholics fundamentally misunderstand it. It is Purgatory: that place of purifying penance where souls saved by Christ are made perfect and acceptable to spend life eternally in heaven.

In The Biblical Basis For Purgatory, author and apologist John Salza (Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons) offers the definitive scriptural explanation of this distinctively Catholic doctrine. Building on the teachings of Christ and St. Paul, he shows how the existence of a place of temporal punishment after death is not only a logical extension of what we know about the reality of sin and God's justice, but is also a supreme expression of God's love and mercy.

Although Purgatory is a place of mercy, its pains are real, and they are severe. This audiobook does more than defend and explain Purgatory; it provides a solid plan, drawn from the Church's perennial wisdom for conquering our sins by God's grace, while still on Earth.

Outstanding Book on Purgatory

Salza has compiled the best apologetic on Purgatory to date. The book breaks down and details several biblical passages while revealing protestant errors and misconceptions about purgatory and justification. I would love to see more Salza titles released on audiobook.
