This discussion features two Christian guests on the question of the doctrine and nature of hell. Does the Bible teach that hell is eternal separation from God, as is traditionally believed, or is hell something else altogether? Chris Date, an annihilationist, runs a website called Rethinking Hell where he defends a "conditional immortality" perspective. Jason Crowder is a traditionalist, he believes that hell is eternal.

We are discussing a positive case for Chris' view. He argues firstly that the Bible teaches we are not inherently immortal, immortality is a gift from God. And then secondly that the doctrine of the atonement (Christ's atoning work on the cross) makes better sense from an annihilationist point of view.
