Join Dr. Bart D. Ehrman for "What the Hell?" It's a live, two-day course exploring one of Christianity's most widely accepted yet deeply misunderstood beliefs.
Among the more than two billion Christians in the world, nearly all believe the Bible teaches that unbelievers or immoral people will suffer eternal punishment in hell. But what if that isn't what the biblical authors actually taught?
In this course, you'll discover why the traditional doctrine of hell is built on mistranslations, misinterpretations, and assumptions that developed long after the Bible was written. You'll explore what the Hebrew Bible says about the afterlife, what Jesus actually taught, why the Book of Revelation doesn't describe eternal torment, and how the familiar idea of hell emerged only generations after Jesus.
Covering key passages from Genesis to Revelation, this course traces the development of beliefs about judgment, the afterlife, heaven, and hell, revealing how one of Christianity's central doctrines came to take its familiar form.
Whether you've always assumed the Bible teaches eternal torment, have questions about what it really says, or simply want to understand the historical origins of the doctrine of hell, this course will challenge what you think you know.
