What Does the Bible Really Say About Hell?Wrestling with the Traditional View Living Issues Discussion Series, Vol. 2 |
|
Randy Klassen studies every significant reference to hell in the Bible, seeking an interpretation that both takes the Bible seriously as the very Word of God and harmonizes with the character of the God and "Abba" revealed through Jesus Christ.
“Klassen is to be commended for writing this book. What he has done so well is examine carefully all significant references to hell in the Old and New Testaments and shown that none provides clear evidence of the existence of the commonly held view of hell.”

“As always in Klassen’s work, the note of hope sounds clear and there is logic in the approach, buttressed by his searching of Scripture. There is also a boldness about it which is a great gift to the church: he presses readers to deal with the issue, whatever they may conclude.”
— Jim Hawkinson, former editor, The Covenant Companion;
Executive Secretary, Covenant Publications
“Every affirmer of a traditional hell must contend with Klassen’s statement that ‘there would no victory of God’s love if most people are left screaming in the flames of hell.’”
— Doug Stevens, Director, The Renewal Project
