Overview
Would a loving God really send good people to hell? What does the Bible actually teach about hell? How should believing in hell affect us? Here Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson set forth a clear biblical theology of hell, facing the hard realities and avoiding silly stereotypes by conveying what the Bible says about hell with integrity, intelligence, and compassion. They address the major questions people have about this subject and apply what the Bible has to say about it to Christian living.
Top Highlights
“It is important to note here that the question Paul struggles to answer is not the modern one: ‘Would a loving God really send good people to hell?’ Instead, Paul addresses this: ‘How could a just and holy God ever declare guilty sinners to be righteous in his sight?’” (Page 8)
“Universalism is the view that in the end everyone will be gathered into the love of God and be saved.” (Page 18)
“How can a loving and just God declare the guilty to be right with him?” (Page 10)
“By contrast, annihilationism has gained adherents.7 This view, also known as conditional immortality, or conditionalism for short, holds that the wicked will be cast into hell to suffer for their sins. When they have paid the debt for their sins, God will exterminate them so that they will exist no more.” (Page 19)
“Hell is the punishment, but sin is the crime. Which is worse, murder or the life sentence? Obviously, the crime is worse than the punishment. The Bible is clear: sin is inherently against God, who is infinite in all his perfections. Sin, then, is an infinite evil and merits endless punishment.” (Page 26)
