Saw this tweet from Mark Driscoll and thought I would share since I have blogged and taught on Love Wins a bit.

The link refered to is from Christian History Magazine which has put out a resource (pdf) on various views of hell.

A quick summary of some of the early writers based on the article (italics are my additions):

• Justin Martyr – potential father of inclusivism – writings inspired later thinkers to speculate on fate of unbelievers who did not have access to gospel.
• Irenaeus – eternal punishment awaited those who rejected Jesus
• Tertullian – eternal punishment awaited unbelievers
• Origen – father of universalism / postmortem evangelism – writings speculate on fires of hell as purifying
• Athanasius – potential father of annilationism
• Augustine – eternal punishment awaited unbelievers

and a summary on some of the reformers:

• Huldrych Zwingli – reformed inclusivism –  those elect by God are saved (even if they don’t hear the gospel)
• Martin Luther – eternal separation awaited unbelievers
• John Calvin – eternal separation awaited unbelievers (unelect)

The article contains many more as well as a list of books that have added to the discussion on the after-life.
