It is often said that “no one spoke more about hell than Jesus.” This book examines the words of the Savior of the World to see if that statement is true.
What if the teaching that there is a place of never-ending punishment is the result of bad interpretations of things Jesus said?
And what if the teaching that there is a “hell” was not passed on by the original disciples?
Is never-ending torment consistent with what Jesus said about love and forgiveness?
What if Catholics and Protestants are both wrong; that hell is not a place of never-ending torment for everyone outside the Church?
This book will make you question everything you thought you knew about hell—especially if you grew up Catholic/Christian. In an unbiased way, not attacking or singling out any particular denomination, the author makes a detailed, organized case for the fact that we’ve all been so clearly misled in the common interpretation of “hell”. The points made in the book are supported by scripture and referenced in detail. I found myself underlining, staring points, and writing “WOW” in the margins over and over. I’m now mindblown that “hell” is so widely accepted as truth. If you’ve ever wondered about the afterlife, or even are just curious about misguided church tradition, I couldn’t recommend this book more!
This book is a must-read for anyone who believes in the traditional idea of hell and eternal punishment. If you have ever felt confused why a loving God would send his people to such a place, or felt like it doesn’t sit right with you, please read this! It is such a thorough walkthrough of what the Bible ACTUALLY says about life after death and comes from a place of love and compassion.
