Annihilationism (often called conditional immortality) has received increasing attention. While #annihilationism sounds appealing to a human perspective, @drdaveyoon superbly demonstrates that it has little linguistic, biblical, or exegetical support.

Absolutely. We need what Dr. Craig Evans describes as a "research autopsy" in our biblical scholarship. You can have full access to the Evans essay at: jgrchj.net/volume21/JGRChJ21…
Craig A. Evans. "Were Samaritans Cursed in Pre-70 Jewish Synagogues? Did the People of Ephesus Thank Jesus for Casting Out Evil Spirits?—Why Research Autopsy Is Mandatory" (JGRChJ 21 [2025])
Lots of good stuff in this issue, including Craig Evans’ point about viewing sources for oneself. This is surprisingly not always practiced—even among scholars who should know better.
