Go to Hell

The descriptions of the hell Will Stark finds himself in were inspired by many sources. The goal was to paint a picture of hell that was accurate based on current literature of the spiritual realms.

There exist multiple levels and layers in the spiritual world. A popular belief is that earth is a middle ground with seven dimensions above and seven dimensions below. The dimensions above the earth represent the heavens with the seventh dimension being the Kingdom of God as represented in the Bible. The seven dimensions below represent various levels of hell, each becoming darker as one descends them (think Dante).

Mystics and visionaries throughout history have claimed to have seen or been given insights into these various dimensions.

One of these gifted visionary's was St. Catherine of Genoa. In her writings and teachings, St. Catherine references the "divine fire within" the human soul and witnessing the purification of souls in purgatory.

A central theme in The Resurrectionist is the purification of the soul and the love of God that burns away sin. This powerful message reminds us we're never truly lost and beyond repair.
