The Debate Over Hell: William Lane Craig Responds to Hellgate
About this episode

It included Gavin Ortlund, Dan Paterson, Chris Date, and Paul Copan. In this episode, Dr. William Lane Craig evaluates the panel's discussion, considers the biblical arguments that were presented, and offers his own assessment of what Scripture teaches about hell, eternal punishment, and final judgment.
