Will you write a book on the topic of Hell someday?

Question from a reader:

People trust what you have to say about heaven. Your 2004 book by that title was a best seller. Can we expect a book from you on the topic of hell some day?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

I have chapters on Hell in my books Heaven and If God Is Good. And I have one hell scene in most of my novels, each a bit different than the others. I have no plans to write a whole book on Hell. But I recently wrote the foreword to Mark Galli’s excellent book, God Wins, and endorsed ...

Do you think hell is located in the center of the earth?

Q&A:Is Hell a real place, and is it our default destination? (video)

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn answers the question,"Is Hell a real place, and is it our default destination?"

What do you think of Scottish preacher and author George MacDonald’s view of hell? He seemed to believe it was a time of purifying until the sinner repents.

George MacDonald was a good thinker in some arenas, but he was a universalist, and not solidly biblical. However, C.S. Lewis said George's books baptized his imagination. Lewis's baptized mine.

Hell: Eternal Sovereign Justice Exacted upon Evildoers (Chapter 29 of If God Is Good)

When most people speak of what a terrible notion Hell is, they talk as if it involves the suffering of innocent people. That would indeed be terribly unjust—but nowhere does the Bible suggest the innocent will spend a single moment in Hell.
