Hell Is Real,
By Elizabeth B. Johnson "Rev. Elizabeth B. Johnson" (Austin, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hell is Real (Paperback)
This author is a quack and the information that he presents is just plain INACCURATE. Walls has a strong faith in God and Jesus, but no formal training in the historical or literary contexts of the Old Testament and New Testament passages that he quotes. He interprets Biblical words with today's meanings for the words. He claims that the Holy Spirit inspired him to write this book, implying that HIS words are actually the Holy Spirit's words -- which seems aimed at telling the reader that he is correct. Any real book editor would have demanded a thorough rewrite just to get Wall's ideas clear, his vocabulary appropriate, and his grammar correct. Wall's reasoning is circular.
The concept of Hell is actually never mentioned by Jesus. It was inserted into the Bible several centuries after Jesus' life. To imply that Jesus taught about a Hell to which our spirits go after death is simply WRONG. Jesus taught about a Hell-on-earth, which we create for ourselves when we fail to live in relationship with God and fail to treat others as God's valued children. There are many books on the market regarding the concept of Hell which are written by Biblical scholars, have REAL information, and are much more worth your time and money. |
