A Letter to the Rev. Bernard Whitman, on the Term Gehenna, Rendered Hell in the Common Version (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the historical and theological debate surrounding the word gehenna, often translated as hell, as it appears in the New Testament. The author argues that the traditional understanding of gehenna as a place of eternal punishment is inaccurate, and that a closer examination of Jewish writings from the time of Jesus reveals a more nuanced interpretation. The book delves into the etymological origins of gehenna and traces its evolution in meaning throughout the Old and New Testaments. Through a meticulous analysis of relevant texts, the author challenges established beliefs about the nature of punishment in the afterlife and offers a fresh perspective on the concept of divine justice. By shedding light on the historical and cultural context surrounding gehenna, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the Christian scriptures and the theological debates that have shaped their interpretation.
