Schouppe, S.J. was an eminent theologian of the nineteenth century. He was the author of \u003ci\u003ePurgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Dogma of Hell\u003c\/i\u003e. His purpose with the latter work, though the subject itself is terrifying, was not to sensationalize or to horrify, but rather to instruct people on the reality of Hell and to excite them to a dread of losing Heaven. \u003ci\u003eThe Dogma of Hell\u003c\/i\u003e was originally published in 1883 by P.V. Hickey, and \u003ci\u003ePurgatory Explained\u003c\/i\u003e was printed in the late 1800s with the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50634785718546,"sku":"9780895558312","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cb28eb5d-64ec-4163-bc19-5462bf8180d9.jpg?v=1732822444","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/purgatory-explained-by-the-lives-and-legends-of-the-saints-9780895558312","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
