How did the Christian concept of Hell originate?
The Christian concept of Hell can be traced back to the ancient Jewish belief in a place called Gehenna, which was a valley near Jerusalem where trash was burned. In Jewish tradition, Gehenna was also a place used to symbolize the final judgment and punishment of the wicked. This belief was adopted by early Christians as a place of punishment for sinners who did not repent and accept Jesus Christ as their savior.
