Heaven and Hell - Key Terms in Translation

We return to the Key Terms in Translation series with the terms "heaven" and "hell". These terms are much more complicated than the meanings of the words. They reflect the worldview of the people in the Bible. This podcast explores the worldview of the Ancient Near-Eastern people of the Old Testament, and how that affected their view of God's space, the place of the dead, and their eternal destiny.
