The Cult's Motto - "Hell is a deception " Dante Alighieri wrote TheDivine Comedy between 1308 and 1321. The Inferno was published in manuscript form early in the 14th century, but the first official illustrations of the book did not appear until much later in time. The work was first published in 1472 with the simple title Comed a, which is Tuscan for comedy. Later, it was changed to the modern Italian word Commedia. The Venetian humanist Lodovico Dolce's edition, published in 1555 by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari, was the first to use the title Divina Comedia. The Nag Hammadi codices also referred to as the Gnostic Gospels were first published in English in 1977 after being found in 1945 close to Nag Hammadi, Egypt. At first, it was believed that these ancient writings which comprise more than fifty theological and intellectual works had been burned during the early Christian conflict over orthodoxy. The codices' discovery and translation have had a profound impact on the understanding of early Christianity and Gnostic beliefs. The Apocalypse of Peter, one of the Nag Hammadi codices, describes Jesus Christ and his disciple Peter being on Mount Olives following His Resurrection. The author of the scroll claims that Saint Peter experienced a Tour of Heaven and Hell from Jesus while they were there. Tragically, the scroll was lost after it was written, somewhere around 150 AD. In 2025 and 2026, Stephen Hathaway and Catherine Turrell embark on another journey to locate the scroll linked to Saint Peter and figure out its connection to Dante's TheDivine Comedy and his portrayals of Hell in itsfirst part, called Inferno.
