Annapolis tutor, Ron Haflidson, delivers his lecture, October 27 in the FSK Auditorium. His lecture is titled “What the heck is hell? Divine judgment in the Gospel of Matthew.”

He offers this description:

In this lecture, I explore the largely neglected and perhaps totally wrong possibility that when Jesus spoke about “hell”, he wasn’t talking about the afterlife. The inquiry proceeds by focusing on Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Matthew (the New Testament text with by far the most references to hell). I will pursue the case that for Matthew’s Jesus, hell was an impending event within history, not a place some people go after they die. The lecture is divided into two parts: in the first, we consider the various ways that lead to hell; in the second, we examine the nature of hell itself.
