Sadducees, as you may know, were a group of Jews who denied the resurrection of the dead, as well as the existence of spirits (in the sense of departed spirits), angels and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tom Wright’s scholarly writing on the biblical teaching on the resurrection of the dead is praiseworthy for a number of reasons. He has alerted the evangelical community to the unfortunate way in which popular theologies of “going to heaven” are eclipsing the biblical hope of the resurrection to eternal life. But he does have one [...]]]></description>

Christians have said it when responding to the popular book, “The Secret.” [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>Here it is, the first podcast episode for 2009, complete with my summer hay fever voice! Kicking things off for the year is a discussion of what lies beyond the grave. The resurrection of the dead is the hope of the New Testament for our eternal life, yet popular Christian theology has come to place a lot of weight on the hope of going to heaven when you die. Short story: It has to stop and we need to adjust our focus.

		<itunes:summary>Here it is, Episode 18. Here I draw on the work of the fourth century bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius. His work called The Incarnation of the Word is my all-time favourite work from the Church Fathers, and I think it gives us excellent theological reasons for adopting annihilationism. Along the way, it invites a theological storm over what it meant for Christ to become subject to death as one of us.
As always, comments are more than welcome. I&#8217;m also on the lookout for someone who might be interested in co-hosting the occasional show with me. Drop me a line if you&#8217;re interested!

		<description><![CDATA[What? Jonathan Edwards comes to the aid of annihilationism? Why would I say that? We all know Jonathan Edwards didn&#8217;t believe that annihilationism is biblical. Yes, we do all know that, but there are ways to help a view that do not involve showing that it is biblical. Some advocates of the claim that the [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>Here&#8217;s part 2 on my series on hell. In this episode, I look at some key arguments against annihilationism and for the doctrine of eternal torment, and why those arguments fail.
As this episode ended up being longer than expected (there are plenty of bad arguments to cover!), I&#8217;ve decided to present a third episode in this series, where I will cover the remainder of the main arguments for the traditional view. But at least this time I managed to squeeze in my regular &#8220;This Week in History&#8221; segment.
The next episode will be a little shorter.

		<itunes:summary>We&#8217;ve made it to five episodes! This one is part one of a biblical and theological (mostly biblical) discussion  about hell, the doctrine of eternal punishment in Christian theology. It&#8217;s a two part presentation. In this part, I present my position on the subject, a view called annihilationism. In the next show I&#8217;ll be looking at argument against my view and in favour of a more traditional view of hell as a place of the eternal torment of the damned.
As I promised in the Episode, here&#8217;s a list of some prominent Christian thinkers who hold (or held &#8211; some of them are dead) to an annihilationist point of view:

John Stott
Michael Green
Clark Pinnock
Philip Edgecumbe Hughes
John Wenham
Dale Moody
Edward Fudge
Graham Scroggie
Edward White
Basil Atkinson
E. Earle Ellis
Homer Hailey

That&#8217;s what I came up with in 2 minutes. Now, come on in, the water&#8217;s lovely!
&#160;
EDIT: Here are parts two and three.

Here it is: Definitions are not exactly the same thing as descriptions. At first glance that sounds pretty simple, and brief reflection shows that it&#8217;s obviously correct. Why am I pointing out such a trivial thing? Here&#8217;s why: [...]]]></description>

I argue that the teaching of Athanasius on the fall, death, and the atonement that he presents in his great work On The Incarnation of the Word provides good arguments for annihilationism, whether those arguments were intentional or not.
