1873 – State of the Dead – Uriah Smith | 7th Day Adventist Immortality Treatise

The State of the Dead and the Destiny of the Wicked by Uriah Smith is an 1873 treatise on the concept of soul immortality. Written as early Seventh Day Adventist doctrine, this work argues that the condition of the soul is not immortal but that it is only given immortality through Christ’s resurrection. This concept is better known as “soul sleep” – which rejects the inherent immortality of the soul.
