Sinopsis

The Christian tradition teaches that some people will suffer eternally in hell. But why? Doesn’t an all-powerful God have the ability to prevent this from happening to anyone? Wouldn’t a perfectly good and loving God want to prevent it? And doesn’t the traditional teaching about hell function as a threat, coercing those who truly believe it? These questions convey the problem of hell, the most disturbing of all theological problems and one of the most difficult to solve.
Thinking Through the Problem of Hell is a rigorous yet accessible treatment of the issue. The solution that it develops, called the divine presence model, is that heaven and hell are the various ways that the righteous and the wicked experience the presence of God after the final judgment. In its fully developed form, the divine presence model addresses a whole host of theological issues: the purpose of suffering, the meaning of salvation, the nature of free will and self-deception, and the reason that God remains partially hidden in this life, even to those who earnestly seek Him.
This is a book for those who refuse pat, simplistic answers to the hardest questions of the Christian faith.
