Hell and Heaven in Narrative Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798572162028)

The debate about "hell" is always going to be a difficult one. This collection of essays from postost.net addresses important aspects of the current debate, arguing for a radical revision of the evangelical understanding not only of hell but also of heaven on the basis of a "narrative-historical" reading of the New Testament. Punishment and reward are part of the story of what was happening to the people of God as it passed through a long and painful transition from national Israel under the Law to a cosmopolitan, empire-wide community under Jesus. This approach forces us to rethink some traditional assumptions about who we are and where we are going. Through his blogging and books Andrew Perriman is pushing for a renewal of evangelical thought and practice in an increasingly post-Christian era.
