These past few weeks I have been hard at work cutting together special features, recording my director’s commentary, creating closed captions and subtitles (English, French and Spanish), doing a 5.1 surround sound mix, working out DVD manufacturing options and artwork, redesigning the web site, delivering different versions of the film to broadcasters and all sorts of other tasks you don’t anticipate prior to embarking on a project like this. Apart from a few technical glitches, everything is progressing well, and... Read more
Today we have a guest post by Rev. Heath Bradley, who is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church. He is also the author of Flames of Love: Hell and Universal Salvation. Heath blogs at the Sunday drive home. “Our God is a consuming fire.” – Hebrews 12:29 I hold to a hopeful conviction that ultimately everyone will be united with God through the grace of Christ. As I visit with people about this conviction (known as “Christian universalism”),... Read more
Found on Facebook yesterday: “So-called progressive Christians and Westboro Church members are just two sides of the same anti-Christian coin.” When asked to elaborate, the author of this pithy statement said, “One group is a caricature of God’s grace and the other side is a caricature of His judgement. In other words: Both sides distort God’s character.” The temptation to engage in negative reciprocity is overwhelming… But I’ll resist for the moment. I have my own problems with the term...

A 52-minute version of Hellbound? will air on CBC’s Documentary channel on April 1, 2013. Think of it as an extended trailer for the full, 85-minute film, which will release on DVD, iTunes, etc. on May 28. Read more
I’m getting a lot of inquiries on this, so I thought I’d let you know that Hellbound? will be released simultaneously on DVD, iTunes, Amazon, etc. on May 28. This includes North America and the rest of the world. We will begin taking pre-orders on the DVD in early May. Stay tuned! In the meantime, don’t forget that you can purchase corporate or educational screening licenses for your church, class or school. Several groups have already taken advantage of this... Read more
First it was freedom. Then truth. Now justice. In each case I’m looking at the connection between how we define these terms and our eschatology. In a previous post, I described six purposes of the justice system: 1. Retribution 2. Public Protection 3. Deterrence 4. Restitution 5. Rehabilitation 6. Reconciliation On a meta-level, you could say these purposes follow a progression from “preventive” to “curative.” That is, the first three purposes seek to prevent or deter future offenses by punishing...

A strange phenomenon is occurring over at the Hellbound? official movie site. Last April, I wrote a blog post called Does John Piper Watch the Teletubbies?, which commented on the following quote from Piper’s post Earnestness in Preaching and in Life: The real battle in life is to be as happy in God as we can be, and that takes a very special kind of earnestness, since God threatens terrible things if we will not be happy. Even though my... Read more
Over the past few days I’ve been mining the mountain of footage we shot for Hellbound? in search of nuggets to use as special features to the DVD (which comes out on May 28, by the way, the same day we release on iTunes, Amazon, etc). In addition to extra clips from people who appeared in the film, I’m also adding segments from my interviews with Miroslav Volf, Richard Beck, Carlton Pearson, Thomas Talbott and Edward Fudge, all of whom...

In several interviews related to Hellbound? I’ve told the story about how I became a Christian at Bible camp at age 9. My conversion took place on the final night at camp. It was the first time I ever heard the Gospel during my childhood, and I responded to it immediately. I don’t remember my counselor ever mentioning hell, but somehow I picked up on the “other side” of the Good News anyway. I know this, because one of my... Read more
