Title: Heaven, hell, and hope : a biblical and theological exploration of universal salvation

Publisher： Baker Academic

Author： Chris Kugler

Synopsis

In Heaven, Hell, and Hope, Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought.

Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.
