Studies on the life after death by the Dean of Wells, taking their title from the passage in 1 Peter about Christ's preaching to 'the spirits in prison.' Plumptre argues for an intermediate state in which growth, repentance, and the reach of Christ's redemption continue — the scholarly Anglican middle path of the wider hope, between Farrar's rhetoric and Allin's full universalism.
