Why would a perfectly good and loving God consign anyone to eternal
suffering in hell? In Sinners in the Presence of a Loving God, R.
Zachary Manis examines in detail the various facets of the problem
of hell, considers the reasons why the usual responses to the
problem are unsatisfying, and suggests how an adequate solution to
the problem can be constructed. Historically, there are four
standard explanations of the nature and purpose of hell:
traditionalism, annihilationism, the choice model, and
universalism. In Manis's assessment, all are deficient in some
crucial respect. The alternative view that he develops and defends,
the divine presence model, stands within the tradition that
understands hell to be a state of eternal conscious suffering, but,
Manis contends, avoids the worst problems of its competitors. The
key idea is that the suffering of hell is not the result of a
divine act that aims to inflict it, but rather is the way in which
a sinful creature necessarily experiences the unmitigated presence
of a holy God. Heaven and hell are not two "places" to which the
saved and damned are consigned, respectively, but rather are two
radically different ways in which different persons will experience
the same reality of God's omnipresence once the barrier of divine
hiddenness is finally removed.
With over 40,000 copies in print since its original publication in
1982, Steve Evans's Philosophy of Religion has served many
generations of students as a classic introduction to the philosophy
of religion from a Christian perspective. Over the years the
philosophical landscape has changed, and in this new edition Zach
Manis joins Evans in a thorough revamping of arguments and
information, while maintaining the qualities of clarity and brevity
that made the first edition so appreciated. New material on divine
foreknowledge and human freedom has been added as well as on
Reformed epistemology. The discussions on science now cover new
developments from cognitive psychology and naturalism as well as on
the fine-tuning of the cosmos. The chapter on faith and reason has
been expanded to include consideration of evidentialism. The
problem of evil now forms its own new chapter and adds a discussion
of the problem of hell. The standard features remain: a survey of
the field, an examination of classical arguments for God's
existence, and an exploration of contemporary challenges to theism
from the social sciences and philosophy as well as the natural
sciences. The meaning and significance of personal religious
experience, revelation and miracles--all within the realm of
contemporary religious pluralism--are likewise investigated. A
classic introduction thoroughly updated and refreshed for today's
student.
