[QUOTE="Mr Dave, post: 58505950, member: 260155"] Paula Gooder speaks well on this topic, I heard her recently at greenbelt on the topic. I haven't listened to this yet, but I imagine it would give a fairly good overview - [url=http://www.archive.org/details/RoughGuideToHell/]A Rough Guide to Hell : Dr Paula Gooder : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive[/url] The Bible isn't wholly clear on the subject of hell, and most certainly the common perception is an amalgamation of several possible views and the mediaeval Dante and Miltonian view all coming together. Hell as a term has become blurred, through artistic depictions and the fact that some Bibles used 'hell' as a translation for a number of different words, all meaning slightly different things. Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus have all at some point been translated as 'Hell', and it'd be worth looking into each of these (although Paula Gooder may go into this in the talk). Hades and Tartarus play on Greek mythology. Hades is like a NT equivalent of sheol, being 'the abode of the dead' and the source of our view of 'hell' being 'down there'. They are 'the grave' or the underworld and ooze with a sense of being a non-good, non-bad place below the earth where we go when we die. Afraid I have to go out so can't go on right now, but I hope this gives you somet things to ponder. [/QUOTE]
