How to Explain Hell with Louis Markos (Hank Unplugged Podcast)

Hell can be hard to explain. Professor Louis Markos joins Hank to discuss how works of art can help us understand and explain complex topics like hell, which is the topic of Markos’ feature article in the Christian Research Journal titled "How Dante’s Inferno Can Help Explain Hell to Modern Seekers." This is a high energy, passionate conversation covering a wide range of topics that we promise you won’t want to miss.
