Hell under fire ebook

Rarely mentioned anymore in the pulpit, it has faded through disuse among evangelicals and been attacked by liberal theologians. Hell is no longer only the target of those outside the church. Today, a disturbing number of professing Christians question it as well. Perhaps more than at any other time in history, hell is under fire. The implications of the historic view of hell make the popular alternatives, annihilationism and universalism, seem extremely appealing.

What does Paul the apostle have to say, or the book of Revelation? Upholding the authority of Scripture, the different authors in Hell Under Fire explore a complex topic from various angles.

Albert Mohler Jr. Packer compares universalism with the traditional understanding of hell, Morgan does the same with annihilationism, and Sinclair Ferguson considers how the reality of hell ought to influence preaching. Hell may be under fire, but its own flames cannot be quenched by popular opinion. This book helps us gain a biblical perspective on what hell is and why we cannot afford to ignore it.

Christopher W. Robert A. Peterson was professor of systematic theology at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. The traditional understanding of hell, long held by the vast majority of conservative Christians, is under heavy fire today.

Both universalism and annihilationism have made considerable inroads into evangelicalism. Perhaps the best recognized proponent of annihilationism is John R.

Stott, while the most recent champion of universalism is Rob Bell. There continues to be, therefore, a need for serious and scholarly examination of this subject. Hell Under Fire is just such an examination as nine different authors contribute to this well-written and well-organized book of the afterlife.

Al Mohler writes the opening chapter, "Modern Theology: The Disappearance of Hell," which clearly defines and illustrates the modern theological landscape on the subject of hell.
