The teachings of heaven and hell belong together, and the Bible – and Christian teaching throughout the centuries – has always done what Ted Donnelly does in this lecture series: keep both together and prevent one reality from being overemphasized to the detriment of the other.
In this exceptional work, Donnelly first describes the pessimistic background of biblical teaching about Hell to warn us to flee from it, so that the glorious reality of Heaven may shine in all its splendor and attract us with all its might. The book stands out for its biblical realism and pastoral warmth.
