Lewis' The Great Divorce (about the "divorce" of Heaven and Hell). Written as fiction, it resonates with many of the themes you have articulated above, and helped me as a young Christian gain a much more profound understanding of why so many people reject the healing, beauty and love of Christ. A phrase that has relevance to this discussion is how Lewis describes a "damned soul" as a "shrunken thing" - infintely shrunken and meaningless, by its own choice. I reread the book every now and then, and grow in my faith (and hopefully my understanding) every time. The best book I ever read on Hell is C.S.
