Abstract
In 1765 the Anglican theologian Francis Blackburne asserted that Blessed Martin Luther “espoused the doctrine of the sleep of the soul, upon a scriptural foundation, and then he made use of it as a confutation of purgatory and saint worship, and continued in that belief to the last moment of his life.”
