| Summary: | Augustine rejected Origen?s doctrine of apocastasis panton ? and, in return, described the eternal punishments of hell colorfully. Thus, he started Christian unfolding of the hellish horrors, which we find particularly in Gregory the Great. However, he did not conclude the development. Reports of afterlife journeys - for example the Visio Tnugdali ? contributed other details to the picture of hell. The development culminated in Dante?s Divina commedia. Meanwhile, scholars contributed to a kind of a doctrine of hell. As early as the Athanasian Creed, the eternal punishments of hell were depicted. Later on, influenced by Anselm of Canterbury, Honorius Augustodunensis wrote the Elucidarium, a widely used, frequently translated theological manual in dialogue form, in which hell plaid an important part. The idea of the eternity of punishments ran into trouble, however, when Thomas and other scholastics wrote against the consequent Aristotelians of the 13th century. Theoderic von Freiberg even questioned the external reality of hell. Consequently, a spiritualization of hell occurred in the mystical tradition. |
