| Résumé : |
Jon Braun tells us that most people say they believe in hell. But there aren’t many who believe they themselves are going there. The truth is that people no longer believe in the hell described in the Bible.
The Bible is very clear on the subject. There is a hell, and it’s a place of eternal punishment. Whatever Happened to Hell? describes how today’s attitudes have evolved and contrasts those attitudes with what the Bible tells us about hell. (From the inside cover) Hell is no laughing matter. Today the term hell is used lightly, jokingly, and as a minor threat, but it’s rarely used as a word carrying the awesome impact of eternal damnation. Why, when most people still believe in punishment for wrongdoing, do they deny God’s Word that hell is a place of eternal punishment? How is it that hell has become a “figure of speech” or a place that “we create for ourselves here on earth”? Why are people afraid to take hell seriously? In Whatever Happened to Hell? Jon Braun examines the conditions that have led this age to ignore what the Bible says about the true nature of hell. In the same readable style found in It Ain’t Gonna Reign No More, he explores the impact of the doctrine of universal salvation, the philosophy of humanism, the corrosive effect of modern biblical higher criticism, and the confusion caused by the secularization of our public education system. Braun analyzes why a truth such as hell has gone out of style in our age, and he calls for a return to a proper, Biblebased belief about hell. If you’re concerned that someone you care about is beginning to take hell lightly, learn the reasons behind this behavior. The denial of the true nature of hell is a basic denial of the truthfulness of God’s Word. The consequences are eternal. |
