What can Christians say about people who have died,
those of other faiths and none?
The Lie of Hell provides Biblical answers.
The Lie of Hell is pastorally helpful, scholarly and accessible.
The Lie of Hell builds on the work of others, such as John Stott, while adding a new dimension to an important and longstanding debate.
Radical recommendations are made for the whole Church.
Not what you might expect.
‘Roger Harper provides us here with fresh and provocative insights on the debate about hell - or what he would rightly want to distinguish as Gehenna and Hades, the words used by Jesus himself in the Gospels. You might not be convinced by all his arguments, nor support his implication that continuing talk of hell deliberately distorts the truth. But the case he makes is born of a close and passionate engagement with Scripture. It deserves serious attention and a serious response.’
David Hilborn
Principal, St John’s College, Nottingham
formerly Theological Adviser, Evangelical Alliance and
Editor of the Evangelical Alliance Report The Nature of Hell (2000)
‘A fresh perspective… stimulating and nuanced… likely to invigorate Bible students of all persuasions.”
Edward William Fudge,
author of The Fire That Consumes (Cascade Books 2011)
subject of the movie Hell and Mr. Fudge (2012)

A young couple celebrate their relationship over a meal in a city centre restaurant. He is the son of a successful Asian Moslem businessman. She is a bright English girl, involved with the media.
They speed off into the city underpass. Their car smashes lethally into the concrete wall.
Who was responsible? A jilted lover? A racist?
This is Birmingham, September 1999.
David Jeffery is a solicitor who knows both families. Dismissing the obvious suspect, he searches for the truth.
David takes us with him for 10 days. He is an interesting companion, open about his thoughts and feelings, but not insisting on our immediate attention. He covers Christianity, Islam, and American coffee shops in England, the point of sermons, the ethics of air fresheners, and much more.
David is a practising Christian. He finds himself planning a dramatic funeral. His faith and sexual fidelity come under pressure as never before.
David keeps investigating until the truth comes out.
