It is misunderstood, neglected, ignored, redacted, deleted, and hated! The doctrine of Hell is naturally unpalatable to the unconverted but has become equally unpalatable to much of the visible church, including many who deem themselves to be evangelical. Jesus is still regarded as the one who saves, but it is forgotten what he saves from! It is a doctrine so unwanted and offensive that it is cut out of church teaching, like an editorial cut-out of a swear word in the media. Yet, not that long ago, it was universally accepted dogma, reflecting the emphatic manner in which the Lord Jesus addressed the subject, giving more attention to Hell than to any other subject! Concise yet comprehensive, this book inspires a new generation of Christians to embrace and proclaim the doctrine in its fulness, in imitation of Jesus and his gospel. Extremely thought provoking, it is a must-read for all seminary students and prospective pastors. Equally suitable as an evangelistic tool, the unconverted are repeatedly entreated to take refuge in Jesus and escape the most terrible destination in all of creation. Do not delete this four-letter word from your church life!

Reviews for The Four-Letter Word Edited Out of Church Life

"""This is a necessary reminder of the central place the doctrine of hell has in Scripture and the Christian faith. Allan Macdonald provides positive and practical applications for believers who retain a biblical doctrine of hell with the ultimate aim of limiting hell's final population."" --Jon Mackenzie, pastor, Forres Baptist Church ""Andrew Bonar, having preached on hell, was asked by Robert Murray M'Cheyne: 'Were you able to preach it with tenderness?' The spirit for which M'Cheyne pleaded rests on Allan Macdonald. This is a necessary book on a neglected doctrine, and I believe that I discern in these pages the tears of a faithful and a compassionate heart. I urgently and wholeheartedly commend it and plead that God might use it to stir the church and awaken the lost."" --Carl Muller, pastor, Providence Baptist Church"
