Biblical Afterlife
I was extremely happy to see the Biblical perspective of
what happens after death on Jake’s Blog (http://jakeslitblog.blogspot.com).
Biblical Afterlife vs Dante's Inferno

| How does this relate to my post? You tell me! :) |
We don’t get to study the Biblical perspective on the afterlife in class and it
would be amazing to be able to compare and contrast what the Bible says about heaven
and hell to Dante’s Inferno.
One could infuse so much into an essay that leans on the
text and meaning of the Bible and Dante’s Inferno. One could even end up comparing works based
and grace based Christian theology just by examining this texts!
Or for an even more dramatic theological dialogue one could compare
Dante’s understanding of why one goes to heaven/ hell or what makes a one evil (an
medieval Italian catholic perspective heavily affected by his personal life) with
what the Bible says (even looking at the Greek/Hebrew text).
Essay?
Either way I think this would make a great essay. Hmmm my final essay? Maybe, maybe not. I
always have at least 10 ideas for essays brewing in my head at any given moment
(and like 15 poems). Which English
teacher can I blame for making me enjoy writing essays??? How could this
possible be my natural state?
