Gehenna

In the New Testament, every reference to “hell” in the English is a reference either to Hades, Tartarus, or Gehenna. Gehenna is used 12 times.

It’s well known that Gehenna was the dump outside Jerusalem where trash was burned. And many times, Gehenna could be well translated as “trash dump”.

Some references for later...

Anger, Raca, Moreh, and Gehenna in Mt. 5:21-22

The blogger, the tenth Leper is doing a review of Rob Bells forthcoming book, 'Love Wins'. Yes, he has an advance copy. Surely Gehenna will be addressed.

The book promo.


What the Hell? A site about hell with many resources. What the Hell is Hell? Clearly against the modern notion of hell.

And Jason Goroncy's older post, Hell, the nemesis of Hope?
