Hell Under Fire, released by Zondervan Press, is my favorite book addressing the issues of hell that have recently come back to a place of prominence in our churches. Some 7 years before Rob Bell “shook the world” with his well-written book Love Wins, the pastors in this book were already addressing much of what is now so controversial. Chapters include:
The Disappearance of Hell
The Old Testament on Hell
Jesus on Hell
Paul on Hell
The Revelation on Hell
Three Pictures of Hell
Three Vantage Points of Hell
Universalism: Will Everyone Be Saved?
Annihilationism: Will the Unsaved Be Punished Forever?
Pastoral Theology: The Preacher and Hell

The quality of argumentation and scholarship in this collection of essays is pretty low, which is more than a little disappointing considering the reputation of some of the contributors.
I suggest Edward Fudge’s The Fire That Consumes. The third edition will be out in May, I believe.
Thanks for reading and for the comment.
Grace and peace to you.
Thank you for your gracious response to my intentionally provocative comment! 🙂
Happy Easter to you!
The enlarged, updated and thoroughly revised third edition of The Fire That Consumes, with Foreword by Richard Bauckham, is now available from publisher at http://www.wipfandstock.com and Kindle version from amazon.com .
