Description
Book SynopsisGod's goodness seems incompatible with inflicting horrible evil upon those who oppose his will and defy his law. If to this paradox we add the metaphysical requirement that God be perfect in goodness, the eternal evil of hell seems to be contradictory to God's own nature. Catholic philosopher Adrian Reimers takes on these challenges in
Hell and the Mercy of God.
Trade Review“This is a very impressive book. Reimers deals with some of the most controversial and contested topics in Catholic life and theology today—the reality of hell and eternal punishment, the possibility of mortal sin, and so on—in a truly excellent way. The generally educated Catholic interested in these questions will find the book of real value. But so will the professional theologian. To say that the book will be of interest to the educated Catholic should not be taken in any way to diminish the high quality of thought and seriousness of the accomplishment.”—Ralph Martin, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
