The Flame of the Abyss: A Journey Through the Afterlife

Does hell really exist? It may seem that today no one poses such a question, but for nearly two thousand years it has defined the lives and fears of entire generations. In the history of Christianity, hell 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, in all cases, the focus was on the actual, not metaphorical hell.
Why was the realm of evil seen this way? What compelled people to speak of its physical existence rather than transferring it to a non-material dimension? And finally, how did hell manage to overcome the philosophical, theological, and cultural changes of different eras, remaining an integral part of Christian doctrine? The book "The Flame of the Abyss" finds answers to these and other questions about the realm of darkness, the thought of which still stirs our society today.
"A fact that will make the modern reader smile (even a believer!): throughout the 20th century, hell completely dematerialized. Although there are plenty of vestiges, changes, and pockets of resistance, no one searches for the realm of evil in the depths of the earth anymore, where the metallic core, producing a magnetic field, is more comfortably located."
