Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Having practiced medicine for more than 55 years, Dr. Johnstone has witnessed more than one of his patients take their last breath. But sometimes, in his mind, questions popped up. Is the persons soul in the presence of its maker? Or is the soul now suffering in the flames of hell? Or did it simply die with the body and with it will soon be encrypted, buried, or cremated? What is the soul anyway? Is it conscious? Can it feel all of the stimuli coming to it from light, sound, heat, taste, smell, and touch? If so then a soul in heaven would be able to appreciate all of the blessings of that place, but if in hell; it would be suffering in the torment of eternal flames that never consume or destroy. However, if the soul dies with the body, then it would experience nothing. The above questions are not so meaningful if the person who has just died in your presence is not a loved one. However, a loved ones death makes these questions come alive, sometimes with strong emotions not the least of which is sorrow. Dr. Johnstone experienced these feelings one summer afternoon, when he was called by his mother, who was at the bedside of his dying sister, to come to the hospital and pronounced her dead. Recently retired, Dr. Johnstone decided to research Scripture for himself to find answers in it, as to what happens to a person after death. In an effort to prevent bias from forming in his mind, he decided not to consult with any commentaries, but confine his studies mainly, but not exclusively, to The New International and King James versions of the Bible along with an English translation of the Septuagint. He also decided to obtain help from the Interlinear Bible, written in Hebrew, Greek, and English, in conjunction with The New Strongs Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. From these sources, he performed a metaphoric autopsy to ferret out the answers to the souls postmortem existence. The pathology report, portrayed in Hell Know, came as a complete surprise.

Jesus revealed God’s heart toward sinners when He told the story of the father who, from a great distance, saw his prodigal son coming home and ran to embrace and kiss him. But what if the son had not decided to return? Is it conceivable that this same father would insist that his son suffer without relief for all eternity? The discrepancy between the traditional view of hell and the heart of God displayed in Jesus Christ led Robert Taylor to investigate the key biblical passages that address the destiny of the unsaved. Scripture, research, and pivotal insights, drawn from the consistent application of the literal method of interpretation, fill the pages of Rescue from Death. In this fresh look at the Bible, Robert pays special attention to Matthew’s Gospel, where most of Jesus’ teachings on hell can be found, as well as the Book of Revelation, exploring the truth about Antichrist, Satan, and the new heaven and earth. Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary is also closely observed. The good news is that Jesus came to rescue humanity from death, the penalty for sin established in Eden, declared throughout the Old Testament, warned of by John the Baptist, taught by Jesus, and affirmed by the apostles. By shining a spotlight on God’s true justice, Rescue from Death magnifies both the righteousness and the goodness of God. Carefully observing what the Bible actually says, Rescue from Death tackles the tough issues head-on. Small group discussion questions are provided for each chapter to stimulate critical thinking and help facilitate much needed conversation within the body of Christ. Dig into God’s Word and discover a Savior who loves everyone, died for the world, and rescues from death all who believe in Him.
