Excellent Read
By Vic
The various authors in this work are well-informed and present scholarly, interesting articles. I frequently refer back to Falconer's article for academic papers and continue to argue with it in my head. The chapter on Evangelical Hell is fascinating and presents a pluralistic view of the issues for Evangelicals. Any article by Toscano is always worth a read.

Studying Hell gives one a broad survey of culture and these articles identify key ideas that might otherwise be obscure.

The price is Hellish though!

Product Description

The notion of an infernal place of punishment for 'undesired' elements in human culture and human nature has a long history both as religious idea and as cultural metaphor. This book brings together a wide array of scholars who examine Hell as an idea within the Christian tradition and its 'afterlife' in historical and contemporary imagination. Leading scholars grapple with the construction and meaning of hell in the past and investigate its modern utility as a means to describe what is perceived as horrific or undesirable in modern culture. While the idea of an infernal region of punishment was largely developed in the context of early Jewish and Christian religious culture, it remains a central belief for some Christians in the modern world. Hell's reception (its 'afterlife') in the modern world has extended hell's meaning beyond the religious realm; hell has become a pervasive image and metaphor in political rhetoric, in popular culture, and in the media. Bringing together scholars from a variety of fields to contribute to a wider understanding of this fascinating and important cultural idea, this book will appeal to readers from historical, religious, literary and cultural perspectives.
