Have we lost our cosmic imagination? Modern Christianity often speaks as if the world were flat-simple, self-contained, and spiritually reduced. Yet the Bible and the early Church envisioned something far more intricate and compelling: a layered cosmos, ordered by divine mercy and justice. In Seven Heavens, Earths, and Hells: the forgotten Judeo-Christian worldview, scholar Dr. Hendrik Jacobs invites readers to rediscover the profound spiritual architecture that shaped the faith for millennia. This is not myth or superstition-it is the moral logic of the universe. Drawing from Scripture and early theological tradition, this book explores how the cosmos was understood through a threefold structure-Heavens, Earths, and Hells-each composed of seven layers reflecting divine order: Grounded in sound exegesis and historical data, Seven Heavens, Earths, and Hells offers a sophisticated yet accessible recovery of the ancient worldview that once undergirded Christian faith. It challenges modern believers to think vertically again-to perceive reality not as a closed system, but as a sacred hierarchy that draws all things toward God. The call is both intellectual and moral. The layered cosmos is a start embracing a biblical vision that is layered, purposeful, and fully redeemed.
