When you hear someone mention "the Ten Commandments," of what do you think? Perhaps you conjure up an image of Moses-or Charlton Heston-coming down Mount Sinai, stone tablets in hand. Or maybe you think of that ancient seraphim-clad box in the "Raiders" film with streaming flashes of light and melting Nazi faces. But whatever your image, what's in the box itself probably holds no more interest for you than you would have in enduring the Egyptian plagues or being dropped into a snake-pit But consider this: no single set of laws has had a more direct and enduring influence on Western...

The subject addressed in this book is without question the most horrible and terrifying of any which can be imagined. When we speak of "Hell" we are talking about separation from God and all that is good, and that for all eternity. And yet, as dreadful as this is, its existence is as true as it is terrible. Of course, today, the very notion of everlasting punishment has come to be viewed as "theologically incorrect," not because it is incompatible with the Scripture's teaching, but simply because it is "offensive," and therefore must be rejected prima facie.
