Limbo

About this book

So many questions need to be asked about the question of limbo: Is it a doctrine of the Church or simply one more theological opinion? Is it a solution which could be put aside today in favour of more consoling theories? If limbo exists, what precisely is its nature? What relation does the question of limbo have to the salvation of the unbeliever? What was the historical genesis and evolution of this question? Does the perspective in which the question arose and the historical circumstances which surround various positions on limbo throw any light on the value of this theological position for present-day thought?
