Description
Perhaps no other religious topic has engaged the human mind and heart so completely as the fate of the soul after death. In this spiritual and ultimately humane investigation, Fr. Seraphim Rose presents the principal beliefs of the early church fathers and then reaches beyond the Christian tradition to examine ideas drawn from The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the writings of Emmanuel Swedenborg, the "astral plane" of Theosophy, the out-of-body experiences of Robert Monroe, and the spiritual encounters of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
This is a comprehensive treatment of a subject that touches every human heart.

启示录的卷轴和骑士
By Al Danks上帝给了耶稣一个启示，让他的仆人看到必须实现的事情。在这个启示中，我们看到一个卷轴，里面和外面都写着，用七个封印封住。当前四个封印被打开时，我们看到一个骑士。这卷书是什么？骑士是谁，或什么？我们如何辨别他们是什么或谁？我们如何知道我们的辨别是正确的？许多人都试图辨别这卷轴和骑士。本书不会试图反驳他们的每一个鉴定，也不会讨论每一个可能的鉴定。我们的方法是表明这些证据符合一个卷轴和一组骑士的要求。如果这种方法是成功的，那么它将有效地排除所有其他卷轴和马夫。本书不会试图讨论第一个骑士的弓和第四个骑士的绿色，因为可用的信息太少，无法辨别它们。首先将利用有关卷轴的证据来确定卷轴的身份。然后用关于每个骑士的证据来识别每个骑士。关于正确辨别的问题将通过展示以下内容来回答 - 骑士是如何结合在一起的- 骑士们都很配合卷轴- 卷轴和骑士适合启示录，并向我们展示将要发生的事情。
