Did God create hell? Does divine justice require that there be a hell? Does divine love require that God triumph over all evil (so that there is no hell)? Do the saints in heaven have free will? If they do, why do they not sin? How should we think about heaven, after all?

Professor Mark McLeod-Harrison is offering a philosophical examination of the notions of heaven and hell, PHIL 285/485, during the fall 2015 semester.

Questions? Please contact Paula Hampton at phampton@georgefox.edu.
