Synopsis: The End of the Unrepentant stands as the most thorough
exegetical analysis of the biblical teachings about the fate of the
unrepentant ever written. Following up the author's acclaimed
monograph, After the Thousand Years: Resurrection and Judgment in
Revelation 20, this study makes use of the nexus of the Isaiah
Apocalypse (Isa 24-27) and Revelation 20 as a paradigm or
interpretive lens through which to understand the teachings of the
Psalms, the Prophets, Jesus, and the NT about resurrection,
judgment, and the divergent futures of the faithful and the
unrepentant. The question of whether "hell" is everlasting has been
a topic of interest for many decades now among evangelicals, and
the controversy has only intensified in recent years. Many
Christians feel uneasy about the idea of everlasting torment, but
their belief in the authority of Scripture leaves them feeling that
this doctrine is inescapable. The End of the Unrepentant is written
for them. It mounts a unique, positive exegetical argument for
annihilationism--an argument so thoroughly founded on the prophetic
words of Jesus, Isaiah, and John that it shifts the exegetical
burden of proof to those who would wish, for theological reasons,
to affirm everlasting torment. Author Biography: J. Webb Mealy
(PhD, Biblical Studies, Sheffield) is the author of After the
Thousand Years: Resurrection and Judgment in Revelation 20 and
translator of The Spoken English New Testament. He teaches biblical
studies and theology to lay people and is co-founder and executive
director of Share First Oakland, a volunteer-based charitable
organization that feeds the hungry.
