Excerpt from Hades: Or the Intermediate State of Man

I. There are few subjects connected with theology on which so much variety of thought, and so much confusion of thought, exists, as on the subject of Hades, or the Intermediate State of Man. By this state I mean the condition of man from the time that he dies to the time that he rises from the dead. To lay this before the minds of thinking men as it is presented in God's Word is the object of my present work.

II. I must be met by honest argument, and not by declama tion. The work which I now present to the public has cost me much time and much thought. I have not rushed hastily or thoughtlessly into the subject. Drawing towards the close of my life, knowing the awful responsibility of speaking at all upon themes like this, I would not dare to put forward What I now do unless I felt it to be my duty to do so. To the best of my ability I have studied what God's Word here teaches. I have prayed for guidance that I might not go astray. I knew that all but universal Opinion was against me, and, therefore, I proceeded the more cautiously.
