Apologetics Book Club meeting Wednesday, December 11, at the Athenian Diner, 864 Washington St,  Middletown,  at 6:30 - 8:30 PM.

The group will be discussing the concept of Hell, and common objections to Christianity related thereto.  We will research responses  to those objections and discuss them.  What is Hell?  A recent book by Rob Bell and an ancient heretic (Origen) argued that love will ultimately prevail, and therefore all people will ultimately be won over to God (Origen additionally  posited that Satan and his angels would also be ultimately converted) -- why is that wrong?  Critics argue that an all-loving God could not send a "good" person to eternal punishment.  How does Christianity respond?  How does a perfectly just God comport with a God who is love and who is supremely merciful?  Please research these issues and be prepared to answer these questions.

We will also be reviewing Chapters 3-4 of the book Unsilenced.  This is a book focused on evangelism. An interview with the author can be heard here:
