Items related to Rethinking Hell: Readings in Evangelical Conditionalism
Many Christians believe that people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favour of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed. However, due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the 'second death' - an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earle Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Review:
... [A] welcome compendium... Particularly helpful here is the reproduction of more obscure contributions from a generation earlier which paved the way for Wenham, Stott et al. to 'come out' for conditionalism...

A collection of evangelical writings that seek to challenge the traditionalist doctrine of hell, supporting instead the increasingly influential conditionalist view that the unsaved will face not eternal torment but annihilation.
