 Rating:  - Rigorous Academic Treatment of a Controversial TopicThis is one of the best books on hell that has ever been made available. The Zondervan Counterpoints books present multiple views and allow for feedback and rebuttals by the authors. This allows for a lot of comparison and contrast regarding the subject matter.

These books not only offer thoughtful views from different perspectives but the historical theological developments are also reviewed. The depth is not too shallow nor is it too deep for the individual with a "day job". However this Counterpoint series book is the weakest I have read to far. Zachary Hayes doesn't even speak to the topic of hell. ...

Fr Hayes's chapter is one of the most thoughtful popular presentations on Purgatory one will come across, reflecting the best in contemporary Catholic scholarship. It almost makes the book worth the price of admission. Particularly helpful, I think, is the way Hayes distinguishes between a Catholic understanding of salvation as process and the Reformation understanding of salvation as a one-time justifying ...
