What are the myths and the truths concerning the punishment of those in hell? The author answers this question by refuting wrong notions among theologians. Such deceptive notions include the denial that hell will be an ever-burning place, that a loving God would not send people to such an everlasting punishment. The author appeals instead to the teaching of Scripture.

Dispensationalism is investigated in the light of Scripture. The study focuses on four sections of the New Testament that mark a kind of historical line in the life of Israel and the church. These include the Gospels, the Acts, the Pauline Epistles, and Hebrews.
