Publisher Synopsis
Kvanvig's book is well written and is packed with many other interesting... The book amply demnostrates that the topic of hell is philosophically rich and worthy of sustained reflection. It will also be an important stimulus for further work on the subject. * International Journal for Philosophy of Religion * ' The book, rich in argument and thought-provoking, is highly recommended for all those with an interest in soteriology and eschatology.'Richard Schniertshauer, The Month, November 1994 'Those who are not squeamish will find much worth thinking about in this tough-minded and toughly-argued book.'Paul Helm, King's College, London, Theology 'He presents a tidy and closely worked argument in support of a concept of hell as 'an afterlife journey toward annihiliation', from which escape is possible. What we are offered is an impressive case for the coherence of a revised doctrine of hell. Whether it corresponds with reality is a separate question which is not addressed. I hope, however, that our readers will grapple with his subtle and widely ranging discussion, which is far richer than my tersesummary can reveal.'The Expository Times, Volume 105, July 1994 'The book, rich in argument and thought-provoking, is highly recommended for all those with an interest in soteriology and eschatology.'Richard Schniertshauer, The Month, November 1994 'Those who are not squeamish will find much worth thinking about in this tough-minded and toughly-argued book.'Paul Helm, King's College, London, Theology.
