Rethinking Hell contributor Chris Date interviews Dr. Tremper Longman III, in whose recent book on Old Testament controversies says some Bible interpreters are motivated to reject divine sanction of violence in Scripture by their desire to believe in annihilationism. Tremper Longman's recent book, Confronting Old Testament Controversies

Dr. Ian Paul, a commentator on Revelation, discusses a conditionalist view of hell in contrast to eternal torment. Topics include his spiritual journey, academic environments, interpreting Revelation, symbolism in Revelation, and contrasting resurrection beliefs.

Chris Date debates the nature and duration of hell with traditionalist Tony Costa. They discuss biblical interpretations regarding eternal torment and conditional immortality, challenging beliefs in eternal conscious torment. The debate delves into the fate of the wicked in Revelation, different views on punishment levels in hell, and ancient Hebrew beliefs on the afterlife.
