Summary: God's Goodness Clarified!
Comment: This book opened my eyes to the reality not only of hell, but paradoxically, of "God's Goodness". Indeed, God is good, wise, and all powerful. Such Truth was cleared in this writing.

Summary: Careful treatment of underlying philosophical issues
Comment: Hell: The Logic of Damnation addresses the basic question as to whether the traditional Christian doctrine of hell can still be maintained with intellectual vigor. For Walls, the answer is affirmative, but he refuses to rely on cliche and convention to support his claim. Rather, the scholarly treatment of the topic is very logical, balanced, and coherent, drawing from a variety of sources, both historical and contemporary.
Walls lays out the main versions of the doctrine and evaluates their ability to address the main concern, namely, whether a doctrine of hell can be consistent with: 1) divine freedom, 2) human freedom, and 3) divine goodness. In this regard, he examines the issue in light of divine attributes and human nature. In the process, he gives a philosophical critique of Calvinistic predestination, offering Molinism as a viable alternative. Overall, he lays out a careful analysis that makes no assumptions, yet remains faithful to scripture. His conclusions are not dogmatic, and he remains focused on providing a philosophical basis for the rudimentary elements of the doctrine.
This is essential reading for theologians, clergy, and laity with an academic interest in the subject. The reader will leave the book satisfied that the key issues have been addressed and the intellectual integrity of the doctrine has been maintained.
