Description
A central theological and philosophical problem facing Christians is the question “How could a merciful God damn people to hell?” It is tempting to solve this issue by developing an image of God that leaves out mercy or an understanding of Christian doctrine that rejects the concept of hell.

Philosophers and theologians in particular will find this work useful, but it is so clear that students, and even historians like myself, will be able to understand it.Learn more about your ad choices.
