<transcy>Whatever Happened to Hell? (Qu'est-ce que l'enfer ?)</transcy>
Available: September 2021
Our modern age offers an anomaly. it doesn't know anything about hell; we claims it has disappeared but, at the same time, we keeps talking about it! From hoaxes, comics, advertisements, swear words and common expressions, to the terror that pierces the eyes of one near death - yes, hell is still alive!
But, where is it? What is he? Was Sartre right? Is there really a fire in hell? What is there beyond death?
What is beyond MY dead ?
So many questions, so many answers, but still no certainty, no relief. For the world in which we live (for me perhaps?), Hell remains buried in the great "Maybe" of Rabelais. This is probably the reason that pushes so many of our fellow human beings to live the present moment to the full, because “tomorrow we will die”, and…
Yet the Bible speaks of it with clarity and precision, and the surprising message it reveals is sobering. The subject is not academic for anyone, because the day comes… And death affects everyone.
Yes, hell is terrible beyond imagination, and many people rush into it. But God has opened a door, narrow and efficient, which allows us not to end up in the place of torment. The sacrifice of the Son of God covers the believer and protects him from this dreadful destination, filled with “weeping and gnashing of teeth”.
In a day of "homeopathic" Christianity - very diluted and very drinkable - the book you are holding is to be greeted as a courageous contribution, and it is to be hoped that it will be a salutary experience for many.
