Where did the ideas of heaven and hell come from? As strange as it
may seem to us now, there was a time when no one thought they would
go to heaven or hell after they died. In fact, there is no mention
of them in the Old Testament, and Jesus did not believe the souls
of the departed were bound for either realm. In this gripping
history of the afterlife, Bart Ehrman reveals how the concepts of
heaven and hell developed and took hold, and why they endure to
this day. He examines the social, cultural and historical roots of
competing views held by Greeks, Jews and Christians, and traces how
beliefs changed over time. Ultimately, he shows that many of our
ideas about heaven and hell emerged long after Jesus's time,
through the struggle to explain the injustices of the world.
