"Gehenna Revisited" examines the Bible and endeavors to show that eternal conscious torment in hell is not supported by scripture. The preponderance of scripture teaches annihilation. Kennedy covers old ground and new in the debate on hell. From the parallel Christ drew between Gehenna and the Battle of Armageddon, to the main point of the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man—if Hades existed, it would be filled with Pharisees—there are new considerations in this age-old discussion. Does God truly condemn His creation to eternal, conscious torment in hell, or have churches been teaching Greek Mythology for centuries?

"Erasing Hell" by Francis Chan and Dr. Preston Sprinkle supports eternal conscious torment in hell while giving annihilationism a nod. "Gehenna Revisited" supports annihilation and discounts eternal conscious torment in hell in total. This is not a point-by-point rebuttal of "Erasing Hell". This is a general rebuttal with an emphasis on Gehenna.
