An Evangelical Book Club Selection. Evangelical Christians agree that a dreadful destiny awaits those who reject God's presence now. According to the traditional majority view, that destiny will involve everlasting conscious torment in Hell. However, believers are increasingly questioning the traditional view, finding it unbiblical and inconsistent with God's own character. This internationally-acclaimed book investigates the whole teaching of Scripture on the topic of final punishment, and concludes that Hell will involve the irreversible destruction of body and soul, leaving room for whatever degree of conscious torment God justly decrees in any individual case.
