RT Article T1 Healing and Hell: The Contradiction JF Journal of religion and health VO 37 IS 2 SP 137 OP 142 A1 Chinlund, Stephen J. LA English PB Springer Science + Business Media B. V. YR 1998 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1669042391 AB There are apparent contradictions within New Testament texts concerning everlasting punishment for some, as opposed to the ultimate reconciliation of people in God. It is here argued that we should affirm the latter for theological reasons. Incidentally, there are major pastoral benefits from this affirmation. There are further social and criminal justice challenges which we may also welcome with thanksgiving.
