Hell is a Bad Word with Michael Bahry | Created In The Image of God Episode 115

We sit down with Michael Bahry, an accomplished construction executive turned theologian, to discuss his provocative book, Hell is a Bad Word.

Michael uses his extensive knowledge of early church history and biblical texts to challenge longstanding Christian beliefs about hell. He prompts us to consider why references to hell are scarce in the New Testament, notably absent from the writings of both the Apostle Paul and the Gospel of John. Through this discussion, Michael encourages a re-examination of the doctrine of eternal torment, a concept that has shaped Christian teachings since the fifth century.

Tune in as Michael shares his perspective on what Jesus truly taught about divine justice, inviting us to read the Scriptures with a fresh outlook.
