Heaven and hell : a history of the afterlife

Heaven and hell A history of the afterlife

Bart D. Ehrman

Sound recording - 2020

Ehrman recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. But eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught.
