Rethinking Hell is a

A new book from Edward Fudge:

This review of Love Wins http://www.redletterchristians.org/love-wins-isnt-jewish-enough-for-rob-bell/

led me to Kurt Willems’ series on hell

A presupposition of mine is the validity of what scholars call conditional immortality. Church Fathers such as Theophilus, Irenaeus, and Justin Martyr argued this perspective. Clark Pinnock states: “God created humans mortal with a capacity for life everlasting, but it is not their inherent possession.” The idea that humans are innately immortal is foreign from biblical thought. Greek philosophy fuels this assumption.

A movie coming about the debate Christians are having about hell

well worth watching  the preview and the director. I’m looking forward to its release.

Please leave other links of interest in the comments or post over at the new forum :-)
