I heard of it and him but never read any of his stuff.
Sounds a bit like purgatory.
I’m no expert on purgatory, but isn’t it supposed to be fiery, painful and ultimately cleansing? All these dead sinners in Lilith—including the title character, who was a kind of Jezabel, in terms of wickedness—were just peacefully sleeping. Even for a universalist, how does that make sense? We can’t go to sleep at night with unconfessed sin, and wake up forgiven the next day. So how would adding centuries of undisturbed sleep change the equation?
It’s like evolution. The idea is, just add the phrase, ‘billions and billions of years,’—and the impossible becomes possible.
