Dr. Preston Sprinkle, co-author of Erasing Hell with Francis Chan, discusses why, having leaned toward the traditional view of hell when their book was published, now finds himself leaning toward conditionalism (the view that the second death is a literal cessation of consciousness and life). Despite this leaning, a few passages still give Dr. Sprinkle pause—all of which are discussed and considered in this 2-part dialog with Rethinking Hell’s contributor, Chris Date.
This segment takes a closer examination of two passages which Dr. Sprinkle still finds troubling: Revelation 20:10-11 and Matthew 25:41-46.
