Book 8
8. Four Views on Hell by Stanley N. Gundry
I enjoyed this book immensely as it covered the doctrine of hell from multiple perspectives. Although I've been a Christian for pretty much my entire life, it's one of the many doctrines that are assumed to be known but the reality is that most people have never really thought about it. In it, Four different authors present their respective views on hell in a literal, metaphorical, purgatorial and conditional fashion. While it did not really change my view, it helped me to understand why some people might think that hell is a place of eternal punishment and why some might think that God would never do that to people. I also enjoyed the structure of the book because each author presented his view and then the other three had the chance to provide a rebuttal or support. Some of them got heated too! I would definitely recommend this book.
