The Complexities of Hell and the Afterlife

The chapter explores the evolution of the concept of hell from Western medieval Church art to its roots in ancient paganism and philosophy. It discusses how language and interpretations of 'hell' have evolved across cultures, emphasizing the rejection of goodness and God leading to emptiness and denial of the new creation. Various theological discussions on eternal conscious torment, annihilationism, and Christian universalism are examined, shedding light on the consequences of denying one's purpose as an image-bearer.
