ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses a central feature of the Christian pro-life world-view: the doctrine of hell. It argues that God will not send human beings to hell. It also argues that God would send someone to hell only if justice permits it as a means of punishing them. The chapter further argues that God would not, and perhaps cannot, impose hell on human beings. It explores how this argument intersects with different conceptions of hell. The argument probably supports a stronger thesis, namely, that God can't send human beings to hell. The idea behind this premise is that if some human beings go to hell, then God imposes a negative choice-consequence. If justice permits God to impose an infinite punishment on some human beings, then human beings warrant an infinite punishment. Just punishment tracks seriousness of wrongdoing and human beings do not perform an infinitely serious wrongdoing or an infinite number wrongdoings that are in the aggregate infinitely serious.
