The controversial book Love Wins suggests that all people will
experience redemption, and that no one will face the permanent
judgment of God. Christ Minimized? challenges such convictions, and
concludes among other things that "Paul did not comfort the
afflicted saints by saying that in the future their tormentors
would be reconciled to God. Rather, he comforted them by saying
they would be 'paid back' for touching God's anointed ones." Christ
Minimized? examines some traditional views of popular Bible verses,
hell, heaven, the afterlife and invites the reader to re-examine
commonly-held assumptions. It is a book that will take you deeper
into the eternal purpose of God in Christ.
Hell is real and terrible. It is the fate of those who reject God.
Evangelicals agree about this unhappy truth. Yet on some questions
about hell disagreements arise. Some evangelicals believe the
wicked will experience perpetual, conscious torment after death.
Others argue that the wicked will experience a limited period of
conscious punishment and then they will cease to exist. In this
book you will find an irenic yet frank debate between two
evangelical theologians who present strong scriptural and
theological evidence for and against each view. Both make a case
that their view is more consistent with Scripture and with the holy
and just nature of a loving God. Robert Peterson defends the
traditional view that those who do not have faith in Christ will
suffer eternally in hell. Edward Fudge advocates the conditionalist
perspective that after a period of suffering, the unfaithful will
experience a complete extinguishing, or annihilation, of existence.
In addition, each author presents a rebuttal to the viewpoint of
the other. Here is a dialogue that will inform and challenge those
on both sides, while impressing on all the need for faithful
proclamation of the gospel of deliverance from sin and death.
