Contrary to this notion, the most learned theologians and philosophers throughout the centuries have affirmed the logic behind Hell's existence. In this prescient and eye-opening classic, Fr. Raupert offers a careful, comprehensive explanation of the Catholic doctrine on Hell. You'll learn what it is, why it exists, and how to avoid it -- in compelling, understandable language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile some posit that the devil is merely a creature of man's imagination, you will see what the Bible really teaches about the evil one and Hell and how this undergirds the mysteries of Redemption and Restoration. You will come to understand how \"universalism,\" or disbelief in Hell, is a slippery slope to a spectrum of other heretical views. In fact, denial of the possibility of Hell engenders a lukewarm Church that gradually comes to disregard her mission to lead all souls to Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will find answers to common arguments against eternal punishment and learn: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How modern science \u003ci\u003eproves\u003c\/i\u003e the existence of Hell \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Five ways ancient civilizations believed in the reality of Hell \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What the \"voice of nature\" says about the possibility of damnation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Modern objections and timeless replies from saints and scholars \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What ultimately shapes and determines your character \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why the inner battles we face point to the existence of principalities and powers \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost significantly, you will discover how the denial of Hell's existence creates a myopic view of God that ultimately wreaks chaos. You will read evidence of the demonic at work through occult practices and learn about diabolical manifestations and spiritual warfare in the lives of the saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs you gain a greater appreciation of the law of order at work in the moral universe, you will also perceive the \u003ci\u003eone\u003c\/i\u003e thing necessary for salvation and the hope to which you are called.
