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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43104875708460,"sku":"9780861541201","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780861541201.jpg?v=1713017906","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/heaven-and-hell-a-history-of-the-afterlife","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
