There are subjects in the Christian faith that the modern Church has largely abandoned to silence. The doctrine of hell its nature, its chambers, its inhabitants, its duration is chief among them. Preachers have softened their sermons, theologians have hedged their language, and congregations have settled into a comfortable haze, preferring a gospel of pure blessing to the full counsel of God. Yet the Scriptures speak plainly, repeatedly, and with grave seriousness about the reality of eternal punishment. This book was not written to terrify but to illuminate. Fear, when rightly directed, is a mercy it is the fire alarm before the building collapses.
