Regnum Caelorum is a groundbreaking book that explores the largely overlooked connection in early Christian thought between understandings of the millennium and the intermediate state of the soul after death. Charles Hill traces Christian views of the soul's fate in Jewish texts, the New Testament, and in early Christian writers through the mid-third century A.D. His findings lead to a provocative new assessment of the development of Christian eschatology that corrects many misconceptions of earlier scholarly research. This second edition updates and substantially expands Hill's highly respected original work published by Oxford.

Did the early Christians believe that the righteous "went to heaven" at death, or did they believe a subterranean refreshment awaited the saints? Did most Christians look for a millennium on earth, a thousand-year, glorious reign of Christ to ensue upon his second coming and to precede the last judgement, or did they cling to the hope that Christ would judge the world and distribute eternal rewards immediately upon his return? By demonstrating the links between "global" and "individual" eschatological notions in the period from the New Testament to Dionysius of Alexandria, this book reveals two competing patterns of eschatological teaching which vied for acceptance in the fledgling Church.
