Dr. Christopher Garrow traces America’s moral story from its founding assumptions to its present secular crisis. He argues that the Christian ethic embedded in America’s founding documents helped create the moral framework that later fueled abolition, religious liberty, women’s suffrage, care for the poor, protection of the family, and the defense of human dignity. But as the nation abandoned Christianity for secularism, naturalism, and moral relativism, its laws and institutions began to reflect a different gospel.

The doctrine of hell may be difficult, but it cannot be ignored. In The Difficult Doctrine of Hell, Dr. Christopher Garrow walks readers through one of the most sobering, misunderstood, and often avoided teachings in the Bible. How can a God of love also be a God of justice? Why did Jesus speak so often and so seriously about hell? What is the difference between Sheol, Gehenna, Hades, and the lake of fire? Is the soul eternal? Was hell originally created for mankind, or for the devil and his angels?
