This book explores the biblical understanding of ‘hell,’ arguing that it refers to the grave rather than a place of fiery, eternal torment. It examines the Hebrew and Greek origins of the word, traces the historical development of the hell-fire doctrine to pagan philosophies, and analyzes God’s attributes of wisdom, justice, love, and power to assert that such a punitive hell is inconsistent with His character and teachings, promoting the concept of a second death as final destruction for the incorrigible.
