Description

Is There Anything Good about Hell? explores our natural discomfort with hell, and then turns to argue for its goodness and glory. If there is no hell there is no gracious warning to goad us to heaven, no ultimate value in humanity, no esteem or honour in creation, no loving God, no merciful and free Sovereign, and no vindication for God's people. Drawing not only from Scripture, the early Church Fathers, and the Puritans, but also from secular philosophy and history, the book aims not to defend the doctrine of hell, but attempts something bolder—to persuade that hell, in all its terror, is good. Robert A. Peterson, author of Hell on Trial and co-author of Two Views of Hell states, the author knows what he is talking about. He has a broad knowledge of Scripture and is as likely to cite Moses or David as the NT to prove points. He is committed to Scripture, Reformed theology, and the Puritans. The book is well written and captivating. I commend it to readers, who want to go beyond sentimental views of hell and are willing to face difficult truths of Scripture." Barton Priebe, author of The Problem with Christianity: Six Unsettling Questions You Have Asked states, "Jesus—the most loving man who ever lived—talked a lot about hell. Yet, many believers seem to be embarrassed by this part of Christianity and so neglect it, redefine it, or simply deny it. Dirks outlines the Bible’s teaching on hell, answers questions we all have, and goes further to argue that it is ultimately good. What could possibly be good about hell? Pick up this book and find out!"
