The doctrine of hell presents the most intractable version of the
problem of evil, for though it might be argued that ordinary pain
and evil can somehow be compensated for by the course of future
experience, the pain and suffering of hell leads nowhere. This work
develops an understanding of hell that is common to a broad variety
of religious perspectives, and argues that the usual understandings
of hell are incapable of solving the problem of hell. Kvanvig first
argues that the traditional understanding of hell found in
Christianity suffers from moral and epistemological inadequacies.
Historically, these shortcomings lead to alternatives to the
traditional doctrine of hell, such as universalism,
annihilationism, or the second chance doctrine. Kvanvig shows,
however, that the typical alternatives to the traditional
understanding are inadequate as well. He argues that both the
traditional understanding and the typical alternatives fail to
solve the problem of hell because they share the common flaw of
being constructed on a retributive model of hell. Kvanvig then
develops a philosophical account of hell which does not depend on a
retributive model and argues that it is adequate on both
philosophical and theological grounds.
