Synopsis

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.
