Product Description

""Christian Hell From the First to the Twentieth Century"" is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of Hell in Christian theology, tracing its evolution from the early Church to the modern era. Written by Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner, the book provides a detailed analysis of the various interpretations of Hell throughout history, examining the theological, philosophical, and cultural factors that have influenced these interpretations.The book begins with an overview of the origins of the concept of Hell in the Bible and the early Church, before moving on to explore the development of the doctrine of Hell in medieval and Renaissance theology. Bonner then examines the impact of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern science on Christian views of Hell, before concluding with a discussion of contemporary debates surrounding the concept.Throughout the book, Bonner draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including biblical texts, theological treatises, literary works, and historical documents. She also engages with a variety of theological and philosophical perspectives, including Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions, as well as secular and non-Christian critiques of the concept of Hell.Overall, ""Christian Hell From the First to the Twentieth Century"" offers a comprehensive and nuanced account of the evolution of Christian views on Hell, shedding light on the complex and often controversial history of this central tenet of Christian theology.1913.
