Hellfire: Journey Through the Underworld

Does Hell Really Exist? It may seem that no one asks this question today, but for almost two millennia it has defined the lives and fears of entire generations. In the history of Christianity, Hell has existed as a real place: underground, in the depths of volcanoes, in the sun, or at the edge of the universe — wherever it was placed, the focus was always on the real, not the metaphorical Hell.
Why was the kingdom of evil seen this way? What made us talk about its physical existence, rather than transferring it to the immaterial dimension? And finally, how did Hell manage to overcome the philosophical, theological, and cultural changes of different eras, while remaining an integral part of Christian doctrine? The book “The Flames of Hell” finds answers to these and other questions about the kingdom of darkness, the idea of which excites our society to this day.
“A fact that will make the modern reader smile (even a believer!): during the 20th century, Hell finally dematerialized. Although there are plenty of remnants, changes and pockets of resistance, no one is looking for the kingdom of evil in the bowels of the earth anymore, where the metallic core that produces the magnetic field is located with greater comfort." (Matteo Al Kalak)
