Did Jesus Actually Believe in Hell?

About this episode

Dr. Bart Ehrman discusses Jesus' beliefs about hell and the afterlife as presented in the Bible.

Hell – the fiery eternal torment known from many Baptist pulpits – is maybe the ultimate consequence for misbehaviour. But is it an afterlife that is present in the Bible? Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to to discuss what Jesus believed about life after death, where the idea of hell came from, and whether we can even find it in the Bible.
