I very much recommend spending just a tiny bit over a dollar and getting a small pamphlet, written by Fr. James Bernstein, on the Orthodox Christian understanding of heaven and hell. In just a few short pages you’ll have a very clear understanding of our Faith’s teaching on the topic and you will find the Orthodox understanding of this topic will answer many of the questions that are posed by our wider culture’s often medieval and Western understanding of the topic. If you are a member or inquirer at an Orthodox parish there may be a good chance this pamphlet is in a rack somewhere in the temple. Absolutely worth the read.
