From Sheol to Sadism: The Human Construction of Hell

By The Right Reverend Michael Angelo D'Arrigo

This study traces the development of the concept of Hell from its biblical roots to its modern fundamentalist exaggerations, revealing that the popular vision of Hell as a realm of eternal conscious torment owes more to cultural construction than divine revelation.
It argues that translation errors, medieval imagination, revivalist emotional manipulation, and modern mass media have created a distorted doctrine that obscures the Gospel's core message of divine love and mercy.
Drawing from convergent Catholic theology and modern Christian Universalism, this paper proposes a hopeful eschatology centered not on eternal punishment, but on restoration, grace, and the unfailing triumph of divine compassion.
