Humanize Me Podcast E513 - Heaven and Hell Book Interview

Bart Campolo hosts the weekly podcast "Humanize Me" in Cincinnati, OH, and is produced by John Wright at JuxMedia.com. Bart interviews Bart D. Ehrman on May 13, 2020, Episode 513, discussing Bart's book "Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife." Where did our popular ideas of heaven and hell come from? Did Jesus teach eternal torture? How did our notions of the afterlife evolve? In this conversation with Bart Campolo, Ehrman talks about the difference between agnosticism and atheism and why he considers himself both, why the words translated ‘hell’ don’t mean what we think they do, how Jesus talked of ‘eternal life’, the early church theology of heaven and hell, how Jews of the 1st century understood bodily resurrection, the origin of the devil, our ideas of the afterlife and cosmic justice, whether we should try to deconvert people who are wavering in their faith, and more.
