The problem of Hell, consists of reconciling God’s benevolence, justice and providence with the concept of Hell. The juxtaposition of God’s mercy with that of an eternal punishment poses a difficulty for believers while also serving as a powerful argument against Christianity.
In response to the problem of Hell, apologists have taken different approaches to the doctrine, including undermining the doctrine with universalism, or defending it from the perspective of justice and free will. This thesis attempts to illustrate how none of the supposed resolutions or explanations are sufficient in explaining the doctrine in a way that resolves the matter, and therefore concludes that Hell should be considered a mystery. |
