About this episode
Cris explores a Christian theology of hell, presenting it as the abyss where life collapses when cut off from God.
270. Hell, the Abyss and the God Who Entres Darkness In this week’s episode, Cris unpacks for us a Christian theology of hell by going back to the Bible, and by taking seriously both Scripture and the stories that shape our imagination. Drawing on themes from Struck in the Upside Down and the world of Stranger Things, this episode explores hell not as a cartoonish torture chamber or Satan’s kingdom, but as what the Bible more consistently presents it to be, the abyss, the pit, the place where life collapses in on itself when cut off from God.
