The clarifying statement on hell that cost me a teaching job

Last updated on: August 28, 2013 at 7:13 pm By Kevin Miller

For what it’s worth, here is article 10 of Trinity Western University’s statement of faith: God’s gospel requires a response that has eternal consequences. We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord...

Paying the price for my views on hell

Last updated on: August 28, 2013 at 12:37 pm By Kevin Miller

Some of you may know that I was slated to teach a class on documentary filmmaking this fall at Trinity Western University, a Christian liberal arts college in Langley, BC. I’ve had an ongoing relationship with Trinity over the years, serving as a guest speaker in their film classes, judging their student short film contest on numerous occasions and even staging a Q&A screening of Hellbound? there this past January, where we played to a packed house. So I was... Read more

Frank Schaeffer’s new novel — a must read

Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 9:06 am By Kevin Miller

It’s called And God Said, Billy. I first read it in the summer of 2012. I liked it so much I agreed to adapt it into a screenplay. Brian McLaren also endorses the novel, saying it takes the reader “deep into the shallow psyche of a sincere Charismatic-Evangelical whose God fails him. That failure turns out, through a hilarious series of tragic-comic reversals, to be – let’s just say something close to miraculous.” The novel will be available for purchase... Read more

The best book on hell I’ve ever read

Last updated on: August 23, 2013 at 8:23 am By Kevin Miller

It’s called God’s Final Victory: A Comparable Philosophical Case for Universalism by John Kronen and Eric Reitan. This is far and away the most comprehensive, compelling and convincing book I’ve ever read on the topic. Whether you’re already a convinced or hopeful Universalist (or at least leaning in that direction) or if you’ve been won over to another view on hell by someone like Jerry Walls or Edward Fudge, I highly recommend you read this book. In my opinion, any... Read more

You never know what you’ll find on Youtube

Last updated on: August 19, 2013 at 6:17 pm By Kevin Miller

This is a TV show I did on Oct. 24, 2012, the day “Hellbound?” opened in Toronto. It was one of the recommended videos when I was watching something else on Youtube this morning. I didn’t realize it existed online until today. Read more

News of our Thomas Merton film project hits the wires

Last updated on: August 10, 2013 at 10:00 pm By Kevin Miller

Cathleen Falsani just wrote a very nice piece about The Divine Comedy of Thomas Merton, a feature film I’m writing with Hellbound? cinematographer Ben Eisner, who is set to direct this film. Brian McLaren also just gave our script a glowing endorsement, saying: Thomas Merton deserves to be known and read by a new generation, and Ben Eisner and Kevin Miller are creating an ideal vehicle to make the introduction. Those who have read Merton will find much here to... Read more

Last updated on: July 9, 2013 at 8:36 am By Kevin Miller

A brief snippet from her campaign site: My name’s Lauren Danielle Drain and I’m one of several ex Westboro Baptist Church members that were forced to start a new life from scratch outside of the CULT.
