Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Scriptural Import of the Words Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna: All Translated; Hell, in the Common English Version As to the sentiments advanced, the author makes no apology for them, nor does he claim any indol gence from his readers. He has appealed to the scriptures, and to this test he desires his views to be brought for examination. If they are found to be false, no one can wish more sincerely than himself to see their falsity detected. If true, they are of too much importance, and God's character is too much concerned, to be treated with indifference by judicious men. If God never threatened men with endless misery in hell, it places his character in a very differ ent light from that in which it is generally viewed.
