Years ago, I read Brian McLaren's book "The Last Word and the Word After That." In it, he brings forth a profound discussion that I believe many western Christians forget to engage in.
In a historical sense, where and when did the idea of hell originate? And how has it evolved over time and cultures?
N. T. Wright touches on that historical stream of thought in this video as he talks about his encounter with a Greek Orthodox priest in the Sistine Chapel.

This is a great video from the greatest theologian of our time! I think it is important that we not fail recognize what the Bible actually says about hell, rather than our traditions that may pull us away from the actual meaning. thanks for the post!
