425 Hell Is the Fire That Consumes (Edward Fudge‪)‬ Restitutio

What does the bible say about hell? Though many Christians believe hell is where the wicked suffer eternal conscious torment, this view contradicts dozens of scriptures about the fate of the wicked. In this masterful presentation, hell expert, Edward Fudge, works through not only the bible, but also intertestamental literature and church history to show the original view of hell and how it changed over time. He explains that the destiny of the lost is to face God’s terrifying wrath leaving them ultimately annihilated rather than tortured without end.

This understanding of judgment has been steadily growing in recent history as evidenced by scholars like F. F. Bruce, John Stott, John Stackhouse, Clark Pinnock, Richard Bauckham, and N. T. Wright. Still none of them compares to the erudition and persuasiveness of the late Edward Fudge in his tour de force on the subject.
