The Gates of Heaven & Hell; Evangelizing Muslims

Where did we get the phrase “pearly gates”? Why are heaven and hell depicted as if they have “gates.” What role did gates play in the ancient world? Where do battering rams come from?

What did Jesus mean when he said that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church?

If the gates of heaven were opened on Easter Sunday (or thereabouts) then when were the gates of hell opened?

What resources could you offer a Muslim to show him the truth of the Catholic faith?

These are just some of the questions we address on this week’s episode of the Jimmy Akin Podcast!
