A recent Pew Research poll showed that 72% of Americans believe in a literal heaven, 58% in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. But eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught.
Join Bart D. Erhman as he unfolds the history of post-mortality, drawing from his latest book, Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife. Then participate in a Q&A session with him afterward.
