The notion of an infernal place of punishment for 'undesired' elements in human culture and human nature has a long history both as religious idea and as cultural metaphor. This book brings together an array of scholars who examine Hell as an idea within the Christian tradition and its 'afterlife' in historical and contemporary imagination.
