Conditional Immortality: A Help to Sceptics
Excerpt from Conditional Immortality: A Help to Sceptics
The undersigned by Prof. Sir G. G. Stokes, Bart., he endeavours to help the sceptic who cannot, as he says, become a Christian, because he thinks that the 'dogma of endless torments' is an article of the faith 'once delivered to the saints.' I feel that these valu able letters should (having the author's permission) be published (although the genial author says they were written for you). In doing so I may be allowed to say that I have only suppressed a few passages of a purely personal char acter. Several repetitions might have been omitted with advantage to the argument, but to do this would have.

About the author
George Gabriel Stokes
141 books4 followersSir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet, PRS (1819 – 1903) was an Irish English physicist and mathematician. He spent all of his career at the University of Cambridge, where he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics from 1849 until his death in 1903. As a physicist, Stokes made seminal contributions to fluid mechanics, including the Navier–Stokes equations and to physical optics, with notable works on polarization and fluorescence. As a mathematician, he popularised "Stokes' theorem" in vector calculus and contributed to the theory of asymptotic expansions. Stokes, along with Felix Hoppe-Seyler, first demonstrated the oxygen transport function of hemoglobin and showed color changes produced by aeration of hemoglobin solutions.

A brief but very useful case for annihilationism, set forth in the context of a series of letters with a traditionalist.
In this brief volume, the author touches no only on many key passages but also the early church and the existence of conditional immortality at that time (as opposed to being a "modern" view).
