| Summary: | The view of hell proposed by C. A. McIntosh, elsewhere called "the spectrum view," is both promising and important, but I argue that it needs to be qualified; otherwise, it is a perilous thesis. Even in its qualified form, however, the spectrum view faces a problem: it’s not clear that it actually qualifies as a version of traditionalism, as McIntosh claims. I argue that the spectrum view is best construed as a new version of natural consequence annihilationism—one that avoids the major problem of its closest competitors, but also faces problems of its own. I close with a suggestion for how the spectrum view might be strengthened. |
