Along with its importance they also go further by promoting the believer’s baptism over infant baptism. They begin by attacking the Christian claim found among many that baptism is a trivial issue. They quickly negate this statement with an alternate point of view, that Christians who suffered persecution and martyrdom did not believe it to be so.

In Four Views on Hell, Stanley N. Gundry, and William Crockett, as series editor and general editor, respectively, bring together four different Christian views of hell through the writings of Dr. John F. Walvoord- former president of Dallas Theological Seminary, Crockett himself-New Testament Professor at alliance Theological Seminary, Zachary J. Hayes-retired teacher at the Catholic Theological Union, and Clark H Pinnock- Professor of Systematic Theology at McMaster Divinity College. They are from different backgrounds and, as such, hold very different viewpoints. John Walvoord argues that “biblical descriptions of hell as a place of everlasting fiery torment should be taken literally.”[1] His belief is that the bible is a document that should be read literally as much as possible. There is real darkness, flames and torment. Crockett agrees on the duration of punishment, but he argues that the biblical descriptions of hell should

(Stassen, Yeager, & Yoder, 1996, p. 10) Module 4 consists of a clear presentation of the teleological ethical perspective of Niebuhr, as well as his classical typology (and examples from church history) of distinct responses to the enduring problem of how Christians can or should live in a fallen world. This is followed by a thorough analysis and critique of Niehbuhr's model by John Howard Yoder. The Basics of Christ and Culture Briefly, Niebuhr's five types of Christian ethics as noted by Stassen et al. (1996) include the following: · New Law (Christ Against Culture) portrays Christians as a totally new kind of people living by totally new ethical standards at odds with all foundational aspects of worldly cultures. · Natural Law (Christ of Culture) portrays Christians as seeking to accommodate the ethics and values of the Gospel to bring out the very best in existing but imperfect cultures.
