Episode 4: The Case for Annihilationism with Glenn Peoples
Glenn Peoples
Dr. Glenn Peoples runs the popular blog Right Reason and podcast Say Hello to my Little Friend. There and elsewhere Glenn writes and speaks on theology and biblical studies, moral and social philosophy and philosophy of religion. He completed undergraduate studies in theology at the Bible College of New Zealand (now Laidlaw College), followed by an MTheol and a PhD in philosophy at the University of Otago. Glenn's desire is to equip Christians to critically engage their culture and their critics, but he insists, "the first thing we need to engage is the person we see in the mirror. Criticising and challenging our own belief, our own faith, testing it, probing it, getting it right. Why do we believe what we believe? Does it make sense? Is it true? Are we repeating what out own church culture expects us to say, or have we seriously asked for ourselves whether or not this is what Scripture teaches? Challenging outsiders can be a sport, but challenging ourselves has got to come first, and the way that so many Christians think about hell is an area where they simply haven't done that." He and his wife Ruth have four children and they live in Wellington, New Zealand.

Good podcast… Are reference notes available?
The presentation is similar to another one he gave for his personal podcast, the notes to which can be found here:

Yeah that document is much longer, with responses to objections, and then an assessment of the case for the traditional view.
Can you reshare this document?
There will be notes published to go along with that episode very soon! See Dan’s comment below for similar notes in the meantime, however.
This is a clear, cogent and quiietly powerful presentation by a careful scholar, with a very pleasant voice, kind tone, and (to these Texas ears) most delightful accent!
Thanks for doing this Glenn. Your presentation here will be ideal for sharing with some of the traditionalists I know who are very recently willing to listen. Covers the main points brilliantly and in 42 minutes! Surely folks can spare 42 minutes for some new perspective?
Does anyone have a working link to that set of notes?

Brilliant. Thanks Chris
This was the most informative podcast, thanks for keeping it available.
