"We must never reduce the study of hell to a mere exercise in academic trivia. Hell is not a subject of possible interest only to persons other than ourselves. It is not a topic unrelated to the character of God. When seriously taken to heart, these truths remind us that not only others but we also must one day give account to God; that we must leave to God all determinations of destinies and resist the temptation to speculate; and that God's character is perfect and pure love which will be nowhere more apparent than in the day when he shall judge the hearts of men."
"I feel that the time has come when I must declare my mind honestly. I believe that endless torment is a hideous and unscriptural doctrine which has been a terrible burden on the mind of the church for many centuries and a terrible blot on her presentation of the gospel. I should indeed be happy if, before I die, I could help in sweeping it away. Most of all I should rejoice to see a number of theologians ... joining ... in researching this great topic with all its ramifications." - John Wenham
