JETS 38:1 (March 1995) p. 49 hell will mainly consist in the experience of God’s wrath, according to Edwards.9 I will then examine Edwards’ response to various objections to and reinterpretations of the doctrine of hell, such as that hell does not really exist and that it is only a place of temporary suffering. He effectively demonstrates that all such notions are inherently illogical and self-contradictory, besides being contrary to the plain words of Scripture.
