"Hell" - Dr. Dale Allison

2024 Pellett-Wearn Lecture Series: "The Bible and the Last Things"
What happens when we die? What should we think about heaven? How should we think about the second coming? Should we believe in hell? What can resurrection mean? Professor Allison will explore how the Bible addresses these perennial questions through lectures on Death, Resurrection, Heaven, Hell, and the Second Coming.
