This means two thirds of the Bible carries no doctrine on such a place, even amidst the many accounts of God's rebuke and chastisement of mans evils, covering the first 5 thousand years of Mankind.
I find it more than a coincidence that Hell turns up in our Modern day Religion resembling the ideas of Ancient mysticisms and philosophy.
