Though hell is probably not your everyday dinner topic, it slips itself into many conversations at a moment’s notice, for example, “what the hell,” “go to hell,” “it was hell” – but does anybody really know what it is?

The images that most often pop into our minds when hell is mentioned are a goaty-looking red guy sporting horns and a devilish grin all while poking some sinner with a pitchfork, or perhaps an ocean of fire brimming with the tormented wicked. Is either of these images right? What does the Bible really say about hell? Is hell truly necessary? Is God a thwarted lover who throws people who reject him into hell? Why can’t God just forgive people? How could a loving God throw his creation into torment forever?

In The Myths of Hell, we’re going to chew on some answers for these questions:

• Where is hell?
• Who’s in charge of hell?
• Who’s in charge of death?
• Isn’t Sheol the Old Testament version of hell?
• Is it true that Jesus descended to hell?
• Did Jesus believe in Hades?
• What evil powers are in Hades?
• Who’s in hell right now?
• Where did the idea of hell come from?
• Is there really going to be a lake of fire?
• Do bad people go to hell right away when they die?
• What is the final punishment for the wicked?
