Description
Rethinking Hell is a central resource for a view on Hell called Conditional Immortality (a.k.a. conditionalism or annihilationism). Focusing on this biblical view as held by many Evangelical Christians, we interview notable proponents, respond to the challenges of critics, present the stories of people who once held to the traditional view but are now rethinking hell, and much more.

I just learned about this podcast via a survey that I am conducting (though it is anonymous, so I do not know who filled it out). Would you be interested in a public debate with us? Conditional immortality is not annihilationism: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4kyfdghjm3ri66/Conditional%20Immortality%20is%20NOT%20Annihilationism.pdf?dl=0
