OH, bloody hellz. So, I'm fascinated by the topic of Hell. And since this book seemed to take the more liberal scholar tack of at least questioning it, AND since Mr Bell is incredibly popular, I thought I'd give it a go.
Mistake.
His writing style. It almost killed me. It's sparse. It's...pretentious, frankly. It's written like it should be delivered as a sermon. A fairly vapid one. If he condensed his paragraphs, this already small book would probably be half its original size. Every few pages, I would have to take a break and read something else that didn't suck.
As for the information. Well, it gets two stars merely for theological information and interpretation.
But if you want
to actually get, y'know
solid information and scholarly discussion–
Well, you're barking up the wrong tree.
