“This new set of essays on the topic of hell's duration is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion on this important topic . . . What we have here is not a bunch of hobbyhorse theologians sitting around agreeing with each other, but a group of astute pastors and scholars wrestling with what God's inspired word says about hell. I commend this book to anyone who is wrestling with the topic of God's future judgment.”
“This excellent collection of compelling essays is not only a fitting tribute to the lifelong passion and work of a great scholar; it's a superb opportunity for readers to be relieved of the onerous weight of believing our loving Creator vengefully consigns people to an unending nightmare from which they will never awake. If you share this traditional view of hell, please do yourself a favor and devour this work!”
“This is a dangerous book. These eminently readable essays—by turns personal, exegetical, theological, and historical—have the potential to change the minds and hearts of the contemporary church on the question of final judgment. Read at your own risk!”
Do all people have everlasting life? Many evangelical Christian scholars and teachers today answer no—only those rescued from death by Jesus Christ. This important new book assembles the best contemporary writings on the topic of conditional immortality. Discover the reasons why so many are rethinking Hell!
