The Case for Heaven (and Hell) (Lee Strobel)

The Case for Heaven (and Hell) (Lee Strobel)

The reality of death shapes our lives and faith. Most of us fear it or try not to think about it, regardless of whether we believe in eternal life or not. Lee Strobel—whose rigorous faith has been shaped by his past as an atheist—first considers his old unbelief: that we have only one life and when we die, we cease to exist. What evidence is there to suggest otherwise? Based on his interviews with Christian philosophers, scientists, and theologians, Strobel unfolds the strongest arguments for belief in heaven and hell. Along the way, he explores common topics related to immortality, such as angels, Satan and demons, reincarnation, and doctrines like salvation through Christ alone.

    There are two kinds of “heavens” where followers of Jesus will go after death.

The final judgment marks the onset of the *eternal state*...

  • S4: Is There Really a Place Called Hell? (The Case for Heaven (and Hell))

    The Bible teaches that a very real place called hell exists. The two key images of hell—flames
    and darkness—represent existence away from the Lord’s presence. This is the real essence of hell: being cut off from the source of life and joy and being separated from God’s blessings forever.
