Accurate Better Than New by Dan Mages - This is an exploration of the New Perspectives on Paul. A brief history of the movement is documented and a tentative analysis is given.
Conditional Immortality and Hell:
Everlasting Torment Examined by Steve Scianni – Walking in the footsteps of Constable, White, and Petavel, Steve utilizes the extensive amount of time he has read and studied the topic and puts it all on paper. This will soon be a book that will be very difficult if not impossible to effectively argue against.
On the Contributions of Chris Morgan in Hell Under Fire by Steve Scianni – A soon to be published devastating, precept-upon-precept critique of one of the most active defenders of the traditional dogma of eternal conscious torment.
A Closer Look at Revelation 20:10 by Patrick Navas – Examining in detail various aspects of the most used passage in defending eternal conscious torment, Patrick illumines the mind on why this passage does not support what at first glance may appear to.
The Immorality of Worshipping a Devilish God: Examining the Ethics of Eternal Conscious Punishment by Dan Mages – A rhetorically passionate plea to awaken the conscience. Dan concludes that it is immoral to worship, honor and give reverence to any God who would torment sentient beings without end. - coming soon!
Fire and Flood: How the New Testament Uses the First Testament on Final Punishment by Glenn Peoples – A fantastically thorough paper re-examining many of the most famous traditionalist passages. He specifically focuses on how the Second Testament writers utilize the First Testament to give an idea of what final punishment would be like.
The Plain Meaning: A Review Robert A. Morey's Death and the Afterlife by Edward Fudge - A nicely formatted rebuttal of some of Morey's misinformation, and below the belt informal fallacy tactics.
Duration and Nature of Future Punishment by Henry Constable - Hands-down one of the most spirited, beautifully written, and tightly argued books ever written on the topic. This book was written in the late 19th century and went through six printings.
Hades by Henry Constable - A stirring book aptly defends the notion that humans cease to exist between death and bodily resurrection.
Life in Christ by Edward White - A masterpiece that cost him his pulpit, White is one of the greatest American defenders of Conditional Immortality. Written in 1846, this work would be best suited for advanced readers.
The Problem of Immortality by Emmanuel Petavel - This incredible French scholar writes one of the more philosophically oriented books on the issue in 1892. Another book for more advanced readers.
The Doctrine of Eternal Punishment by Thomas Thayer - He writes this book against the traditional doctrine in the year 1855.
Unspeakable Gift by John Pettingell - This 19th century district secretary of the Congregationalist Board of Foreign Missions wrote this immense work that posits that only those who receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus will live forever.
Open Theism:
He Is Sovereign over His Own Soverignty by Dan Mages - This introduction to the openness of God re-examines the traditional concepts of exhaustive future foreknowledge, impassibility (God does not have passions, or emotions), immutability (God does not change in any respect), and divine timelessness.
Emergent Church:
Emerging Churches and the HungerTruth Conversations Project by Dan Mages - An analsysis and comparison of the HungerTruth Conversations and an Emergent Church. Take note that some things have changed, but much still applies.
