Is the church still serious about hell?

This is probably the most theologically sharp article I’ve read in the Briefing for a long time.  It concerns the very serious doctrine of hell.

Jonny Gibson, a good friend, and constant source of encouragement and theological sharpening, has put together the article for the Briefing.  Simply put, I have not read such a biblically comprehensive and pastorally sensitive account of the doctrine of hell for a long time, if ever.  Can I seriously commend this to you to read – I’ve been stirred up and challenged in my thinking, evangelism, preaching and pastoral duties as a result of reading it.  Above all however, I’ve found that these articles have brought me back to gratitude, and a desire to give glory to God.

It consists of a short version for print, an extended version online, a theological reflection, and a pastoral reflection.  Get them here:
