Reviews

"...[A] welcome compendium... Particularly helpful here is the reproduction of more obscure contributions from a generation earlier which paved the way for Wenham, Stott et al. to 'come out' for conditionalism..."
-David Hilborn, Theology 118.6 2015

"This fine collection will benefit undergraduates, graduates and anyone interested in the contemporary debates on hell."
-Joshua R. Farris, Theological Book Review, Vol. 27 No.1, 2016
