Among the many doctrines that shape Christian belief about the end of all things, few are more misunderstood than conditional immortality (sometimes also called annihilationism).
The term simply names what Scripture has long taught: that immortality is not something human beings possess by nature but a gift God gives through Christ, received in resurrection.
And in The Myth of Inherent Immortality, I argued that everlasting life is not something human beings possess by nature – it is the gift of God, given in Christ.
So what do I believe about hell, judgment, and eternity?
