A Fundamentalist Preacher Rejects Eternal Torment","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis critique of the Christian vision of hell and how it is used in ministry and Christian education challenges one of the most basic concepts in western religion.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFundamentalist religions are often criticized for attempting to control people through fear. In this timely book, a fundamentalist preacher and pastor of three decades promotes a more reasoned understanding by taking on the Christian fundamentalist view of hell and contesting the validity of a commonly accepted doctrine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor Charles Gillihan exhaustively examines a doctrine that is believed by many but truly examined by few, critiquing the Christian vision of hell and its use in ministry and Christian education. He argues that a God of love could never ordain hell, decrying it \"the worst lie ever told\"--one that prevents many people from understanding the true nature of God and does a disservice to Christianity by keeping people in bondage and fear. This is an exploration of this topic that only a former fundamentalist minister could write and includes a compelling account of his struggle with the doctrine of hell and how he finally came to terms with his true convictions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Gillihan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313397546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313397547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 20","brand":"Charles Gillihan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190547443967,"sku":"9780313397547","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c71d59b-d713-4ebe-8b3a-86b26061c857.jpg?v=1690871124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hell-no-a-fundamentalist-preacher-charles-gillihan-9780313397547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
