Chapter Three: The Flood

In the third chapter of The Underneath, theologian Andrew Cunning explores the classic NI evangelical theology and language of saved and unsaved, hell and heaven. Drawing from sermons, interviews, poetry and analysis, the episode looks at the emotional impact of teaching on hell, and ultimately turns to a clear example of an In / Out binary in a religious setting: the resolutions reached by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland in 2018.
