Episode 34 - A Season of Hell

Doubts Aloud Podcast

Episode 34 – Show Notes
We started with a quick update on our Atonement series from 2018 with a discussion arising from the recent Unbelievable Show
https://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable/Episodes/Unbelievable-Debating-Wrath-Sin-and-Penal-Substitution-William-Lane-Craig-and-Greg-Boyd
We applaud WLC for giving it a go to explain Penal Substitution rationally, but Frances’ legal mind unpicked his arguments based on precedents in US/UK law: employer’s liability and legal fictions.
The we got stuck into hell with Andrew giving his story of anguish, research and discovery on it as a Christian. This led into a discussion on the emotional aspects of holding a belief in traditional hell.
Then we started the long story of hell and afterlife beliefs with the early Old Testament, where there seemed to be no belief in the afterlife, through to Jesus who did teach frequently on hell in Matthew, Mark & Luke, together with useful material in John’s gospel.
Of relevance here is Bart Ehrman’s new book: “Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife” (2020)
And see Andrew’s Christian Diversity on this one:
