Episode Synopsis

Dean Richard leads a class on what he considers to be one of the most dangerous concepts in the history of Christianity: hell. Richard examines how hell imagined as a literal place has caused confusion and psychological torment throughout the ages. He discusses why the Episcopal Church, as well as the church’s ancient creeds, focus upon divine mercy rather than punishment in the afterlife.
