While most people know the fairly consistent description of Hell that exists today, the description of Hell has evolved countless times over the centuries, including within the Christian faith. During medieval times, many Christian writers described parts or all of Hell as cold and desolate places, going as far back as the 4th century work Apocalypse of Paul.

In addition to the notable features of brotherly love, relief, truth, morality and universal tolerance, there were much more tangible similarities, such as initiation, oaths, modes of recognition and the reception of an apron upon admittance.

Auf diesem Hörbuch wird die jüdische Kabbala in eindringlicher und gut verstehbarer Form erläutert. Die jahrtausende alte mystische Tradition des Judentums hat ihre Wurzeln in der Tora, zeigt aber in ihren Bezügen zum Neuplatonismus, der Gnosis und den mystischen Strömungen der anderen abrahamitischen Religionen auch einen universalen Charakter.
