In an area of philosophy of religion and philosophical theology called the Problem of Hell, the eternity of Hell is thought to be unjust by some due to the fact that any crimes that human beings commit are finite and yet they are, for those who are damned, punished for an eternity in Hell. The punishment (which is infinite) does not fit the crime (which is finite) and so, the argument goes, Hell is unjust. There are a number of defenses and theodicies that have been offered by theologians and philosophers on behalf of the doctrine of Hell. One such defense is what we might call the “Infinite Dignity/Value” defense.
