What is Hell? J.I. Packer

J I Packer, the theologian who has probably written more introductions to Christian theological books than any other living mortal, addresses the solemn question, "What is Hell?" In terms of influence on contemprary evangelicalism and generations of Christians, Packer's influence is inestimable. His writing is brisk and packed to the hilt with edifying, readable truth ("Packer by name, packer by nature"). In a kind of miniature homage to Packer, I hope to lift an old article on one of his first (and still very influential) books "Fundamentalism and the Word of God" and post it sometime soon. In the meantime, enjoy this post. And if you can get your hands on anthing by Packer, give it a read.
