Description
To some, the Catholic doctrine of purgatory is mysterious—even scary. What is this shadowy state between earth and heaven? How can saved souls suffer if Jesus has already redeemed them? No wonder non-Christians imagine purgatory in sensationalistic ways and Protestants condemn it as an “unbiblical tradition of men.”
Drawing from his book Purgatory Is for Real: Good News About the Afterlife for Those Who Aren’t Perfect Yet, Karlo Broussard helps you understand and explain to others that purgatory isn’t contrary to Scripture, nor is it some fantastical dogma that Rome invented. Rather, it is rooted in biblical truth and the faith and practice of the earliest Christians. You’ll learn that:
- The Old Testament reveals Jewish belief in post-mortem remission of sins.
- In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus affirms post-mortem temporary punishment and post-mortem remission of sins.
- Paul teaches a post-mortem purification that involves suffering on account of venial sins.
- Extra-biblical sources reveal that the first Christians prayed for the dead and believed in post-mortem purgation and punishments.
Karlo shows that purgatory is not a cause for dread but a hopeful, even joyful sign of God’s love for us. It is a great consolation, a call for all Christians to pursue deeper holiness, and an opportunity to build loving solidarity with those who have gone before us.
Whether you’re a Catholic wanting to know more about purgatory or you’re looking for ways to explain the doctrine to others, Purgatory will provide you with a deeper appreciation of God’s mercy and love manifest in his will to remove those things that impede our entrance into heaven.

![In his Catholic Answers School of Apologetics course, Evidence for the Church, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples shares hard-won insights into the apologetics of ecclesiology that will empower you to defend the Catholic Church to anyone.
He explores in depth the Church as “the fullness of [Jesus Christ]” (Eph. 1:22-23) in the world as a foundation to understanding its divine authority.
He shows how the Church is visible, hierarchical, and authoritative—as opposed to the invisible, fallible church of Protestantism.
He reveals why Jesus chose not to “name” his Church but rather gave it four unmistakable marks.
He explains the scriptural doctrine of apostolic succession, the foundational teaching of the Christian faith that has been lost to countless Protestant Christians.
He calls upon Eastern Catholicism’s concept of theosis as a key to understanding many of the Church’s most controversial claims.
Throughout, he makes what was once difficult to understand surprisingly easy.
This course comprises more than fifty short, easy-to-watch video segments so you can study at your own pace, revisit what you would like, and make sure you understand the material thoroughly.
Evidence for the Church will equip you to defend Holy Mother Church and to bring souls to Jesus Christ through the institution he established on Earth.](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-smelw44hfe/images/stencil/350x350/products/1920/4117/DVD_Evidence_for_the_Church___59027.1598553200.jpg?c=2 "In his Catholic Answers School of Apologetics course, Evidence for the Church, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples shares hard-won insights into the apologetics of ecclesiology that will empower you to defend the Catholic Church to anyone.
