In this pioneering study, Meghan Henning illuminates how the resurrected bodies that populate hell in early Christian literature&;largely those of women, enslaved persons, and individuals with disabilities&;are punished after death in spaces that mirror real carceral spaces, effectually criminalizing those bodies on earth. Contextualizing the apocalypses alongside ancient medical texts, inscriptions, philosophy, and patristic writings, this book demonstrates the ways that Christian depictions of hell intensified and preserved ancient notions of gender and bodily normativity that continue to inform Christian identity.
