vegasmel 's review for:
Erasing Hell: What God Said about Eternity, and the Things We've Made Up
by Francis Chan, Preston M. Sprinkle
I'm reading this book in 2024, many years after it was written. The book seems almost like a diss track to Rob Bell, who took a Universalist approach to hell. Although it references Bell several times, it does a fine job of analyzing what the Bible and theologians say about hell. Francis Chan presents these analyses in a digestible manner, without the arrogance of claiming to have all the answers. He openly admits his uncertainties.
The chapter that fascinated me the most was about racism. Given that it is 2024, the world differs from the world when Chan wrote the book and, based on this chapter, I believe many people (read: "christians") need to brush up on what the Bible says about racism.
