Steele's Answers: cremation of the earth

Intro

This blog gains its name from the book Steele's Answers published in 1912. It began as an effort to blog through that book, posting each of the Questions and Answers in the book in the order in which they appeared. I started this on Dec. 10, 2011. I completed blogging from that book on July 11, 2015. Along the way, I began to also post snippets from Dr. Steele's other writings — and from some other holiness writers of his times. Just lately, I have been rewriting and updating some of his essays for this blog.

The Cremation of the Earth

QUESTION: When will the cremation of the earth take place (see 2 Peter 3:10)?

ANSWER: Ask an easier question. The Creator of the earth will burn it up when he has no better use for it.

— Steele's Answers p. 76.

DANIEL STEELE

Daniel Steele (1824-1914) was a great Bible scholar and theologian in the Methodist Holiness movement. He had a varied career as a pastor, college professor, and college administrator. His writing style may take some getting used to, but his writings are well worth reading, in large part because of their emphasis on Biblical interpretation. Steele was an able defender of the teachings of John Wesley and John Fletcher. An online collection of Dr. Steele's writings can be found here: The Life and Writings of Daniel Steele.
