The Christian Doctrine of Hell Reading ease score: 67.1 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by David Widger "The Christian Doctrine of Hell" by J. M. Wheeler is a critical examination of the concept of hell within Christian theology written in the late 19th century. This theological treatise delves into the implications and historical context of the doctrine of eternal punishment, which the author terms one of the most appalling superstitions in human belief. Wheeler argues that the belief in hell has led to significant psychological harm for individuals, particularly the sensitive and weak-minded, and critiques the biblical foundations and interpretations that support this doctrine. In the book, Wheeler outlines the various scriptural references that describe hell and eternal punishment, including passages from the New Testament that he believes affirm the doctrine's legitimacy. He contrasts early Christian beliefs with contemporary interpretations that seek to diminish the severity of hell. Throughout the work, he highlights the psychological and social ramifications of the doctrine, asserting that the fear of eternal damnation has historically fueled persecution, intolerance, and a culture of suffering within Christianity. Ultimately, Wheeler argues that the doctrine of hell is inextricably linked to the broader structure of Christian belief, claiming that its rejection would undermine the very foundation of Christianity itself.
