In A Theodicy of Hell Charles Seymour tackles one of the most
difficult problems facing the western theistic tradition: to show
the consonance between eternal punishment and the goodness of God.
Medieval theology attempted to resolve the dilemma by arguing that
any sin, no matter how slight, merits unending torment.
Contemporary thinkers, on the other hand, tend to eliminate the
retributive element from hell entirely. Combining historical
breadth with detailed argumentation, the author develops a novel
understanding of hell which avoids the extremes of both its
traditional and modern rivals. He then surveys the battery of
objections ranged against the possibility of eternal punishment and
shows how his freedom view of hell' can withstand the attack. The
work will be of particular importance for those interested in
philosophy of religion and theology, including academics, students,
seminarians, clergy, and anyone else with a personal desire to come
to terms with this perennially challenging doctrine.
