Description

New York Times-bestselling authors Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle provide biblical answers to deep questions about hell and eternity.

What you believe about hell changes the way you live. Questions like, “How could a loving God send people to hell?” and “Is hell real?” are constant in today’s culture. In Erasing Hell, you will:

• Discover the Biblical truth about the afterlife
• Learn more about the all-loving character of God
• Discern what you really believe about Christianity and hell

With a humble respect for God’s Word, Chan and Sprinkle study the character of God and find not only the truth, but the courage to live it out. As you grapple with the doctrine of hell, let God transform your heart through renewed reverence for Him and love for the people around you.

what's better than going to heaven? taking people with you.
Not very compelling...but worth the read.

The book was easy to read, a fast read, and seemed to me to be disingenuous. The arguments Chan makes are debatable and based on debatable passages of Scripture, and debatable snippets of history.

Nevertheless, I would encourage people to read the book. The discussion on Hell is worth having. And I think it's important to understand - as much as you can - the different perspectives and ideas.

In my opinion, Erasing Hell does a great job of exposing just how unstable, weak, and debatable the mainstream, Calvinistic ideas of Hell are (Chan's position, no less - also Driscoll, Piper and others). And it's done in a fashion that attacks your ability to reason or understand God; ironically, by claiming to have figured Him out. Still, try to see past those weak attacks to fairly evaluate how this position stands in comparison to the many different sides and aspects of the discussion.
