Routledge The Problem of Hell: A Philosophical Anthology

How can a perfectly good God justifiably damn anyone to hell? This is one version of the problem of hell. The problem of hell has become one of the most widely discussed topics in contemporary philosophy of religion. This anthology brings together contributions by contemporary philosophers whose work shapes the current debate. Review ’... a whole range of questions you probably hadn’t ever thought of asking about hell are explored in this highly accessible and stimulating collection of essays... the overwhelming interest of the essays lies in their imaginative explorations of our free will and moral psychology, and the exposition of a range of theodicies. Contemplating hell, it seems, is a good place for the exploration of such important and central ideas.’ Church Times '...[an] extremely interesting volume...' Journal of theological Studies 'It is a fascinating read, certainly rewarding for theologians and pastors who are concerned about the afterlife.' Lutheran Quarterly About the Author Joel Buenting lectures philosophy at the University of Alberta, Canada. He has published various articles about epistemology and has presented papers about hell at the Western Canadian Philosophical Association and the Society for Christian Philosophers at the Canadian Philosophical Association.
