This project begins at the subtext of body-a before and after of mutual grammars-or the assumption of what constitutes other. It is a question of how we narrate accumulation: each word bearing a hundred (thousand) behind it. Which is to say consider what lodges here (or remains unburied). Is whiteness my ghost or machine? What means make fantasy material-a thickening of specter. Maybe that's where you come in. Open the door, untangle our roots: see what bleeds at the feet. Tell me how we might yet breathe fire under water.

Dr. Ken Wilson leads us on a fascinating journey through the historical and present perceptions on purgatory. Beginning with Jewish teachings during the time of Christ and the Apostles, he explores their thoughts on God's judgment in the afterlife. He guides us through the subsequent views of earliest Christianity (Roman Catholic and Orthodox) and then the later Protestant Reformation theologies. Finally, Wilson helps us to understand the modern Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish thinking on purgatory, and why Protestants today reject Christian punishment after death. As a Protestant theologian, Dr. Ken Wilson critiques the common Protestant logical and scriptural arguments against purgatory. He rejects the traditional medieval Roman Catholic concept of a formal Purgatory. Yet, he offers a compelling case that God does punish his own children both on earth and after death. Through Scripture, real life scenarios, and analogies, Dr. Wilson helps us as Protestants to understand how God's purifying judgment and mercy are required to answer the problem of injustice.
