The Two Hells Sermons Orthornodox and Rational Hell
A condensed review of two Chicago Tribune sermons by Rev. Collier on Orthodox Hell and Rev. Tyler on Rational Hell. The piece notes shared tone and candor, highlights errors in Collier’s portrayal of Baptists and Methodists, and contrasts the orthodox view that punishment is tied to divine benevolence with the rational view that evil endures due to character rather than punitive divine power. It also discusses unity on the concept that heaven and hell arise from character, while diverging on duration and justice.
