Well, as the post title suggests, I have been researching. In light of what I'm writing, I'm sure what I'm researching will come as no great surprise: Hell. Results have been interesting as I'm gaining a view of the entire idea of Hell in different cultures and worldview. Of course it will primarily be based upon my own views, but I wanted to look at everything. A very interesting journey indeed!
I am also going to begin reading a book I picked up entitled "Four Views on Hell". In this book the concept of hell and the different ideas surrounding it are discussed by a series of critics and authorities on the subject. There are four 'types' of hell: literal, metaphorical, purgatorial and conditional. I'm going to be interested in looking at them further. I also am contemplating reading Dante's 'Inferno' for a more archaic and traditional view of hell, but we shall see.
Meanwhile, here's something I stumbled upon when researching Hell on the internet, it made me chuckle.
That's all this time around folks!
That pic is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting and (kind of) related is David Eagleman's book- Sum: Forty tales from the afterlives.

ReplyDeleteSounds like it could be worth looking into, thanks!
