Hades in Christianity



In some Christian traditions, hades is the abode of the dead where the righteous and unrighteous alike await resurrection and judgment. Hades has two sections, the bosom of Abraham for the righteous and a place of torment for the unrighteous, with a chasm or abyss separating them.
