Heaven, Hell, and Hope

In Heaven, Hell, and Hope, Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought.

Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.

Heaven, Hell, and Hope is a vital resource for those teaching and preaching on personal eschatology. Designed for classroom use or small-group study, Kugler's analysis will benefit professors, students, pastors, and thoughtful lay readers.
