Medieval theology attempted to resolve the dilemma by arguing that any  sin, no matter how slight, merits unending torment. Contemporary  thinkers, on the other hand, tend to eliminate the retributive element  from hell entirely. Combining historical breadth with detailed  argumentation, the author develops a novel understanding of hell which  avoids the extremes of both its traditional and modern rivals. He then  surveys the battery of objections ranged against the possibility of  eternal punishment and shows how his `freedom view of hell' can  withstand the attack. The work will be of particular importance for  those interested in philosophy of religion and theology, including  academics, students, seminarians, clergy, and anyone else with a  personal desire to come to terms with this perennially challenging  doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048154784\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048154784\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-0604-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 210\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358911131788,"sku":"9789048154784","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048154784.jpg?v=1755096773","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048154784","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
