Just what we need....NOT!

Roger E. Olson has pointed out that "many conservative evangelical theologians have resurrected the old polemical labels of heresy and aberrational teaching to marginalize those evangelicals who would dare to embrace a belief that was once relegated to the sectarian margins of Protestantism. This hardly seems like a valuable expenditure of time and energy. Annihilationism does not strike at the heart of the gospel or even deny any major Christian belief; it is simply a reinterpretation of hell."

No thanks!

Great, but that has very little to do with the doctrine of annihilation and its biblical-theological grounding.

From which University did you get your PhD from? What was the title of the thesis?

I've heard some of his arguments. He's a typical Arminian in that he bases his theology on out-of-context verses.

Congrats, not sure that means you can claim the authority to speak authoritatively on the quote from Olson, which, let's face it, is not given in context and nor is it in your field.
