Preaching & The Doctrine of Hell, Part 2

In his most recent book, The Disappearance of God: Dangerous Beliefs in the New Spiritual Openess, Albert Mohler, devotes two chapters about defending the doctrine of hell in today’s culture. He closes chapter five, “Hell Under Fire, Part 1,” with this:

“Our responsibility is to present the truth of the Christian faith with boldness, clarity, and courage–and defending the biblical doctrine in these times will require all three of these virtues. Hell is an assured reality, just as it is presented so clearly in the Bible. To run from this truth, to reduce the sting of sin and the threat of hell, is to pervert the gospel and to feed on lies. Hell is not up for a vote or open for revision. Will we surrender this truth to modern skeptics?”
