Description
Summary:A little over a decade after Edward Fudge invited critical readers of The Fire That Consumes to 'measure this work by every proper standard', Robert Peterson responded in a paper presented at the 1994 ETS Convention entitled 'The Hermeneutics of Annihilationism: The Theological Method of Edward Fudge'. In his paper Peterson alleges to 'have pointed out deficiencies in [Fudge's] methodological approach' and concludes that 'evaluated in terms of hermeneutics and theological method, [Fudge's] case appears to be weak'. This paper presents a case for conditional immortality and the annihilation of the finally impenitent, arguing that they-and not the traditional view-result from exegesis done according to accepted hermeneutical principles, responding to Peterson's critique along the way.
