Doug does a phenomenal job of not only showing the biblical support for the "conditionalist" view but also explaining where many of the traditional misconceptions about the after-life stem from. He sites tons of sources and is completely thorough. His tone is humble, grounded and responsible, and he is very careful to be respectful toward those he disagrees with. This book puts Doug among the pioneers who are courageously and effectively challenging the popular, traditional and, dare I say, inaccurate teachings about heaven and hell that are circulating in modern day "churchianity.
He presents a sound biblical view that will no doubt continue to gain more momentum and acceptance in the years to come.
I personally believe this book is a must read for any Christian who is serious about building deep and accurate convictions about the after-life and conveying the true heart of God to those who are seeking him. As a full time minister, I plan on recommending this book to everyone. Still working my way through this. What I've read so far is just what I've come to expect from Doug: Clear, simple prose that cuts right to the heart of the matter and makes meaningful points while avoiding jargon and ivory-towerism. Just what's needed for today's curious Christian: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.
David Jacoby has the ability to explain difficult concepts using simple language that is understandable and encouraging. I have had questions about this subject for many years, and each time I tried to research the topic, I would run into books with complicated explanations and convoluted language. One person found this helpful.
I recommend this Book to all believers of Jesus Christ. Jacoby's writing is scripturally sound, and using additional writings from our church fathers, he is able to paint a clearer picture of life after death and the existence of purgatory and paradise. Heard your interview on RethinkingHell com website with Chris Date. I agree with everything you said and I appreciate your detail to following Scripture. Just started reading the book and I love the style and "easy to read" paragraphs with sub-sections.
Your use of questions and summaries is a welcome aspect. Looking forward to reading the entire book. Been a disciple of Christ for more than 20 years now, studying my bible on a mostly daily basis. The stuff Doug brings up I had never even considered. Very interesting to see how a true student of the bible investigates and delves into things. Also I must admit I did have to struggle to fully understand some of the beginning chapters. But wow, new insights. What you believe about the afterlife may very well define who you are.
Don't just believe someone else's opinion, discover for yourself what the bible says about heaven and hell. The book does a great job of balancing both topics and giving great insight into how we can think about and view both. See all 21 reviews.
