For centuries, many have been taught to believe the Augustinian view of Hellfire, a vivid picture of a fiery hell where God is said to sadistically torment most of humanity by burning their skin for all eternity. But is this really the picture Scripture paints? Does the Bible, a collection of Jewish documents, truly claim Hell to be a cosmic fire chamber where people are being tortured endlessly? If not, then how do we reconcile horrific biblical images, such as the lake of fire or worms consuming bodies supposedly forever? Are these literal descriptions, or perhaps ancient Jewish metaphors, misunderstood and mistranslated by the Western mind, evident by the fact that four distinct words-'Gehenna, ' 'Sheol, ' 'Tartarus, ' and 'Hades'-regularly translated into the same English word "Hell"?

Were you raised to view Hell through the lens of the Augustinian tradition, perhaps too intimidated ever to question it? If so, this book is for you. In it, we will challenge the Fundamentalist perspective on Hellfire by exploring the original context in which the biblical teachings on Hell were written. We will peel back the layers of centuries-old Western interpretations, examining what the Jewish Bible, both Old and New Testaments, truly says about Hell. By exploring the societal and biblical contexts of the time, as well as the original Hebrew and Greek meanings of key terms, we aim to uncover a more accurate understanding of this highly controversial topic-stripping away fear and tradition to discover what Scripture really teaches about hell.
