#394 | What Is Hell?

Listen Later

 


For some people, hell is a place of eternal punishment. For others, it's merely a stepping stone on the way to redemption.

 

In this episode, we'll be exploring the idea of hell, its different interpretations, and what happens in each one.

 
  • Defining hell and its interpretations in different religions
  • Ancient Egyptian beliefs: judgment in the afterlife, weighing of the heart
  • Ancient Greek beliefs: the Underworld and Tartarus
  • Jewish beliefs: Sheol and Gehinnom as places of the dead and purification
  • Christian beliefs: multiple interpretations of hell, references in the Bible
  • Dante's Inferno
  • Islamic beliefs: Jahannam, seven circles of hell, fiery punishments
  • The ethical "Problem of Hell" and its theological implications
  • Alternative perspectives: Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism and the absence of hell
