Recent years have seen much controversy regarding a unified Christian
doctrine of hell: Do we go to heaven or hell when we die? Or do we cease
to exist? Are believers and unbelievers ultimately saved by grace in the
end?
By focusing on recent theological arguments, Four Views on Hell: Second
Edition highlights why the church still needs to wrestle with the
doctrine of hell.
In the fair-minded and engaging Counterpoints format, four leading
scholars introduce us to the current views on eternal judgment, with
particular attention given to the new voices that have entered the
debate.
Contributors and views include:
- Denny Burk - representing a principle of Eternal Conscious Torment
- John Stackhouse - representing a principle of Annihilationism
(Conditional Immortality)
- Robin Parry - representing a principle of Universalism (Ultimate
Reconciliation)
- Jerry Walls - representing a principle of Purgatory
Preston Sprinkle concludes the discussion by evaluating each view,
noting significant points of exchange between the essayists. The
interactive nature of the volume allows the reader to reflect on the
strengths and weaknesses of each view and come to an informed
conclusion.
BONUS CONTENT: Includes entire first edition of Four Views on Hell to
help readers grasp the history of the discussion and how it has
developed over the last twenty years.
