An efficient numerical method is presented for solving problems of radiative transfer in dust shells with spherical symmetry. The method can be applied to a wide variety of radiative transfer problems in planetary atmospheres, circumstellar dust envelopes and extended stellar atmospheres. The computational procedure and practical considerations for implementing the method are described in detail. As an illustration, the method is used to determine the grain temperature distribution and far IR emission from interstellar dust clouds associated with compact H II regions. Generalizations to problems involving cylindrical geometry and multi-temperature dust shells are discussed in the appendices.
