Book Description
Tim Mathis had been a minister for a decade when he abruptly left the church. This book is the raw, honest, and unexpectedly hilarious announcement of his deconversion. Raised in the strange spiritual churn of the small town Midwest in the 1990s, Tim was called as a teenager to convert the world to an evangelical faith of abstinence pledges, evolution denial, mission trips, and Christian rock. As an adult he tried to develop a spiritual life that was connected with reality through international pilgrimage, over-education, and immersion in liberal urban ministry alongside queer Christians and progressive priests. In the end, he was left questioning whether it's possible to maintain an ancient religion in the modern world. Originally published as a minister's apology for quitting church, I Hope I Was Wrong About Eternal Damnation is a cathartic and ultimately hopeful story for anyone who's struggled with faith. Tim Mathis is the author of the independent hit The Dirtbag's Guide to Life: Eternal Truth for Hiker Trash, Ski Bums and Vagabonds. He has written for Trailrunner Magazine, Grit City Magazine, and The Anglican Taonga, and has been featured on The Art of Manliness Podcast.

Rethinking Hell
Author: Christopher M. Date
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630871605
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Hell Know! (New Revised Edition)
Author: Dirk Waren
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692704837
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Hell is a hot topic! The Bible teaches that unredeemed people will stand before God on Judgment Day and those whose names are not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. The Bible calls this the "second death." What is the nature of this second death? Will these people suffer fiery torment forever and ever, as has been taught since the time of Augustine in the early 5th Century? Or will they be BURNED UP-literally destroyed forever with no hope of resurrection? And what about universalism, the idea that everyone will ultimately be saved? The author used to subscribe to the eternal torture doctrine until he honestly studied the Scriptures and discovered what they plainly teach on the subject-EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION. The biblical evidence is actually overwhelming! Read HELL KNOW and see for yourself. HELL KNOW has been a hit on the internet for years. This is the NEW REVISED EDITION (2016) with 26 pages of NEW MATERIAL.
