In a time of Christian confusion and evangelical erosion, Jesus' teaching about the destiny of the wicked needs to be emphasized. Is there a biblical doctrine of hell or are Christians free to hold a variety of viewpoints on this issue?
In this book Larry Dixon examines many of the current theories on hell and encourages the reader to take the Bible's teaching on Hell as seriously as Jesus Christ did in order to tell people the Good News that we know so that they won't spend eternity on The Other Side of the Good News.
Dixon looks at three alternative views to the traditional doctrine of hell, universalism, annihilationism and post-mortem conversion. In the last chapter he asks "Does it make any difference what view Christians hold about the Other Side?" and "Can there be alternative positions within the church?"
Endorsements
Brother Dixon has given strong Biblical insights into this very timely and unpopular doctrine of eternal truth and I have thoroughly enjoyed his presentation and strongly agree with his conclusion.

'In a climate where universalism is very fashionable in churches and seminaries, Dr. Dixon stands forthrightly in support of the traditional orthodox doctrine of endless conscious punishment.'

Robert A. Peterson Theologian, editor, and co–author, ‘Jesus In Prophecy: How Christ’s Life Fulfills Biblical Predictions’
'Larry Dixon has addressed a topic which is of great current importance . . . This is a book which every serious student of the Bible and theology must read'.
Millard J. Erickson Distinguished Professor of Theology, Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon
This is a fantastic book. It gives an excellent view of the subject of hell and eternity. He really made it clear to me the Universalist view of the hell or their lack of it. I would highly recommend all who are interested in finding the truth of the word of God to read this book.
