Episode 8: Hell-ish - Peter Laws on Christians, Halloween and Hell

from Beer Christianity · host Beer Christianity

Peter Laws is the author of The Frighteners: Why We Love Monsters, Ghosts, Death and Gore. He's also a Baptist Minister, novelist, podcaster, columnist and YouTuber. As Halloween approaches, an expert in Horror and the spooky seems the perfect guest. And he was! Peter chatted to Beer Christianity about how Christians should view Horror movies, Halloween and Hell. Actually, Hell features strongly. Should we focus on Hell in churches? Some of us came to faith through that fear to some extent. But does our concept of Hell chime with what the Bible says about who God is? Peter gives his views, makes us laugh and it actually gets a little beautiful and emotional.
