The Cave

So in class we talked about assent and descent. Assent being the garden and the mountain, or things pertaining to the heavens and going up. Descent dealing with the depths of Hell, or the cave and furnace. I am in the cave group and quite frankly very excited. The Bible has been translated so many different ways, which is why it affects literature and media in various ways. Shows like supernatural dealing with the bible, apocalypse, lucifer, the horseman, demons, angels, and anything else one can think of that has to do with the bible, its there. Even Literature such as the Twilight series, or any monster or demonology states of the realms of Heaven and Hell, and how all of the living dead soul's are going to hell. these ideals of heaven and hell are so ambiguous, and in our time of vast theories and multiples literatures and media that give us all different ideas to go by...how are we supposed to form opinions on our own? think of the movie Da vinci code both in literature and in media and how much speculation and hype that created? peoples worlds were turned upside down by this new "faith language" that jesus was a man who could fall in love just like the rest of us, and even have a family.
