CHANGE IN VEIWS ON HELL
PLEASES GLOOMY DEAN
e |
LONDON, October 11-(/4))_—1)«.-“‘
Inge, the “gloomy dean” has con
‘ tributed a narticle to the Sunday Ex-!
press in which he supports the ro- |
cent declaration of the Bishop m"!
Liverpool, at the church coneress at
Seuthport that Christians no longer
believe as their grandfathers did, in
cternal punishment.
Dean Inge says this is obviously
true and is one of the greatest
changes that Christianity has ever
undergone. In the last 75 years the
tradition of 18 centuries had l)('cn‘
broken. Christianity has been se- |
cularized as it never was before and
was becoming a worldy religion.
Among the many reasons for the
change amounting almost to a revu-{
lution, Dcan Inge believes the I'inst’
is that “we are shocked by tEw'
crudity of the old pictures of I)!i:-'=|
and torment.” He thinks that the old ’
ideas of terrible eternal pun’nlmwn‘n:
and torment were encouraged !):/i
morbid visions of monks which were
suppozed to bhe revelations, but are
nowadays not only unbelievable but
incomprehensible,
“We shall almost all agree,”” he
says, “that we are well rid of this
tecaching. It is indeed strange that
for o many centuries the belief
should have lasted that God, whom
Christ came to reveal, is an implaca
ble torturer.”
