Resumo: The research that follows seeks to present a mapping of a tradition developed over many centuries in the apocalyptic writings of Christianity: The accounts of travel description to the Other-World, more specifically, to Hell. Initially we tried to draw a line starting from the origins of this tradition, in classical Greek texts, through the Jewish Apocalypse of the Second Temple, through Primitive Christianity and making references to some works of the Middle Ages, in order to demonstrate, once more, that the importance of the theme made him gain breath in this period too. We highlight some important concepts such as the apocalyptic genre and some striking features of the reports of journeys of hell. We define some theoretical bases that are relevant to all research, such as the importance they have for a significant study of the formation of the religious imaginary of Primitive Christianity, from sources such as apocryphal writings. In a second moment, we turn to the analysis of one of the primitive sources in which, in the second century of Christianity, reports of a description of Hell appeared in a guided journey in which condemned sinners and their feathers were described: The Apocryphal Acts of the Apostle Philip. Finally, we analyze two contemporary sources in which, we argue, there was reception of the theme of the journeys to Hell and in which are laid common characteristics in relation to continuity and rupture with the oldest writings, revealing the importance of the theme for crossing centuries of history of the Christianity, being assumed, reread and re-signified by the most diverse readers to the present day.
