But what explains this fire and brimstone tradition? And should we rid ourselves of it, and not just from the pulpit but everywhere else? First, in the interest of reality, we must admit that this sort of religious imagination isn’t going away, and that’s because it serves an enduring psychological and social need. What Hannah Arendt said of ideolo...
What then should preachers make of this fire-and-brimstone tradition in the 21st century? How should we preach judgment, hell and heaven today?

God’s judgment is “a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries” (Heb. 10:27). Those in hell “drink the wine of God’s ...
Here’s the same fire-and-brimstone tradition found in much early American preaching, yet as blues it’s easier to see how apocalyptic imagination serves to express and assuage anxiety. In fact, like this, when the fire and brimstone tradition is employed against power and random fate rather than for it (which is its original function), it’s easier to see how it belongs to the preaching of ...
