The Bible's teaching on eternal judgment has often shocked those inside the Christian community and scandalized many without. Belief in damnation as endless torment has been viewed by many Christians as the obvious biblical view. But many respected scholars and theologians question this interpretation on the basis of the words of Jesus who said that God is able to destroy both body and soul in hell (Matthew 10:28). Dr. Sotak is a scholar who recognizes that immortality is ultimately found in Jesus Christ, which means that final judgment--while it may have eternal consequences and results--is not to be understood in terms of endless suffering. Providing a tract for the times on final judgment, this book supplies a sound argument for those who suspect that something is not quite right among the followers of Jonathan Edwards and his famous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." If you want to know where the bodies are buried in centuries of argument in favor of endless torment, this book provides the map--and the shovel.
