hell
The best explanation of hell I have ever read may be found in Dr. Gregory Boyd's book "God at War" (or is it "Satan and the Problem of Evil, I can't remember which)
My second favorite is found in CS Lewis's book "The Great Divorce".
My third favorite is Dante's 7th level (I think) where you are completely frozen, not burning.
Boyd essentially explains how hell can be a place of eternal torment yet also utter annihilation at the same time, as indicated by scripture. (paradoxical if you think about it) He is absolutely brilliant, definitely worth reading.
In all three authors, though, hell is a place you choose for yourself.
As Lewis said, the gates of hell are locked from within.
