The wellspring from which the doctrine of purgatory emerged contains a richer content than has been represented thus far by conciliar definitions. Paradise in Purgatory maintains that the soteriological logic out of which purgatory developed can be extended also to the postmortem healing of victims, and the soteriological logic of the New Testament supports this conclusion. Using as fundamental touchstones the wiping away of victims' tears in the Book of Revelation, and the healing of Dinocrates through the prayers of his sister Perpetua in the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity, O'Halloran argues that victims must have an opportunity to experience full postmortem salvation from other-inflicted sin. The volume concludes that purgatory can be theologically expanded to include a paradise-in-purgatory, i.e., a process that heals the other-inflicted wounds of sin which victims carry with them through death. .
