Jesus' Words on Hell: A Response to David Instone-Brewer

Published: Aug. 12, 2021, 6:12 p.m.

In this episode I respond to a talk given by Dr. Instone-Brewer at the Rethinking Hell Conference some years ago. In his talk, Dr. Instone-Brewer argued that Jesus preached a conditionalist view of Hell in which those without faith in Him would eventually be annihilated. In my response, I argue that any strict literalist and/or Semiticist hermeneutic should be abandoned in favor of the hermeneutic of love. Despite my disagreement with Dr. Instone-Brewer, I find his presentation extremely valuable, compelling, and insightful. I highly recommend it to everyone.
