The credal affirmation, 'he descended to the dead', has attracted a plethora of views over the centuries and many Christians today struggle to explain the meaning of these words. This book explores various interpretations of the doctrine of Christ's descent to the dead, both within particular historical contexts and within contemporary theology. Laufer argues that the descensus clause, Christ's descent, is integral to Christian faith, specifically to the doctrine of the incarnation. If we are to affirm that, in Christ, God became truly human then that affirmation must include his sharing in the state of being dead that is the ultimate consequence of being human. Laufer concludes that, since the Son has experienced genuine human death and the separation from God which is the essence of hell, there is no longer any human condition from which God is absent, either in this life or in eternity. Christ's descent means that he is truly 'hell's destruction'. Drawing on a treasure trove of writings from the western theological tradition, including Luther, Calvin, Maurice, Balthasar, Moltmann and others, and attending to historical, theological, exegetical, philosophical and pastoral issues, this book explores an often-ignored doctrine which lies at the core of Christian life, death and faith.

Leticia Lewis is an ordained minister of the Gospel called by the Lord into the office of a Prophetess. Her passion is teaching the Body of Christ their authority in Christ Jesus which gives us the victory in every situation. Prophetess Leticia Lewis is the founder of the International Covenant Christian Chamber of Commerce and Majestic Ministries International. This book on Spiritual Warfare teaches Christians about our Spiritual Weapons and how to use them. This book also provides a military parallel from the natural military and our spiritual military. Prophetess Leticia Lewis is happily married to her husband Don since 2003. Leticia Lewis "Heaven's Arsenal Hell's Destruction" has given us an arsenal of weapons to engage our understanding for spiritual warfare. This book opens the door of our understanding and filled with rich revelation in God's Word. It will take you deep into the substance and meaning of scriptures which will bless your soul. I believe the comparisons used between Our Nation's military and God's Army will help you walk in the authority given by God to rightly divide the Word of truth. I believe Leticia's prophetic and teaching gifts will help you to apply these principles to your life to become effective in spiritual warfare. This book is a must read to equip the Body of Christ to not be ignorant of Satan's devices. Sam Wagner Senior Pastor New Foundation Church Charlotte, North Carolina "Far too many Christians live life as POWs (prisoners-of-war) to the demonic forces of the adversary because they do not know what and how to use the weapons available to them. Leticia Lewis uses her prophetic gift to profoundly compare and contrast the Christian's arsenal for spiritual warfare to that of the U.S. military in a practical and applicable way that is sure to expose the enemy's strategy, equip Christian soldiers and bring deliverance to the captives."

Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Hell is a hot topic! The Bible teaches that unredeemed people will stand before God on Judgment Day and those whose names are not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. The Bible calls this the "second death." What is the nature of this second death? Will these people suffer fiery torment forever and ever, as has been taught since the time of Augustine in the early 5th Century? Or will they be BURNED UP-literally destroyed forever with no hope of resurrection? And what about universalism, the idea that everyone will ultimately be saved? The author used to subscribe to the eternal torture doctrine until he honestly studied the Scriptures and discovered what they plainly teach on the subject-EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION. The biblical evidence is actually overwhelming! Read HELL KNOW and see for yourself. HELL KNOW has been a hit on the internet for years. This is the NEW REVISED EDITION (2016) with 26 pages of NEW MATERIAL.
