It is a time of Christian confusion and therefore a time of uncertain witness and in the matter of hell Christian don't seem to know what to believe about it!
Is there a doctrine of hell at all in the Bible and are Christian free to hold a variety of viewpoints on the subject?
And if there are does it matter which one?
Larry Dixon examines the current theories and encourages the reader to take the Bible's teaching on hell seriously, as seriously as Jesus did.
He examines the three alternative views to the traditional doctrine of hell which are universalism, annihilation and post-mortem conversion.
In the challenging final chapter, he summarises how different views affect our interaction with non-Christians and the extent of our freedom to hold different views.
All in all a very good book to possess.
