Hell Hath No Fury - Gender, Disability, Invention of Damned Bodies in Early Christian

Meghan R. Henning illuminates how the bodies that populate hell in early Christian literature are punished after death in spaces that mirror real carceral spaces, effectually criminalizing those bodies on earth. This book demonstrates the ways that Christian depictions of hell intensified ancient notions of bodily normativity that inform contemporary Christian identity.

Summary

The first major book to examine ancient Christian literature on hell through the lenses of gender and disability studies
