Christ's Three Days in Hell: Revelation of an Astounding Christian Fallacy by Alvin Boyd Kuhn is a work of comparative religion and esotericism that argues traditional Christianity fundamentally misunderstood the "death" of Jesus. Kuhn asserts that the "three days in hell" represents an allegory for the descent of the divine soul into the material body (earth) rather than a historical three-day descent into a literal underworld. Kuhn claims this misinterpretation has "virtually wrecked" Christianity by reducing profound symbolic truth to historical myth, leading to a "frightful theological nightmare" of a literal punishing hell that does not exist. His work attempts to liberate Christian theology from what he sees as a catastrophic error, restoring it to a "science of the soul".
