“I commend this book warmly. It is likely to remain a standard work to which everyone engaged with this issue will constantly return.”
“The Fire That Consumes has long been recognized as one of the most thorough and compelling statements available of the view that the destiny of the unsaved will be final destruction rather than eternal torment. In this new edition, Edward Fudge provides extended engagement with traditionalist critics and an overview of developments in the last thirty years ensuring that it will remain a definitive work on the issue for years to come.”
Edward William Fudge is a much-loved and celebrated Christian theologian and licensed attorney, living in Houston, Texas. In 2012, Edward's struggle with biblical truth and controversy was made into a feature film, Hell and Mr. Fudge. Today, his publication, gracEmail, regularly encourages thousands of believers around the world. He has ministered with churches of many denominations in the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand. He is the author of Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for Believers Today, The Fire That Consumes, The Divine Rescue, Two Views of Hell, The Sound of His Voice, Hell: A Final Word, and other books. Edward and his wife Sara Faye have been married for over 45 years and have two children and five grandchildren.
In 2014 Christians from around the world gathered at the inaugural Rethinking Hell conference, to celebrate Edward Fudge’s life and work and to discuss the nature of hell. Out of that conference comes this diverse collection of essays exploring the topics of hell and immortality, for which Fudge has been widely known through his magnum opus, The Fire That Consumes.
