The link below is about a really wonderful story from This American Life.
The Bible’s priorities, however, have been inverted by evangelicals, for whom Hell has become a central, essential doctrine.
I’m not sure how that happened. St. Paul had precisely nothing to say on the subject of Hell. He had a lot to say about death, resurrection and the kingdom, but not one word about Hell.
I can tell you why Paul has no mention of Hell. Â For him it neither existe, nor was important. For Paul believed that the second coming would be in his lifetime.
You can probably find the TAL story- the original, but here is a blurb about it.
