Research Proposal
Comparative World Religions
James Earl
Topic
In this essay I will be discussing the similarities and differences between the three best known Abrahamic Religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam), examining their shared history and greatly- overlapping theological beliefs, while also acknowledging the aspects on which they disagree.
Thesis
Christianity, Judaism and Islam are monotheistic religions and they rely on similar theological beliefs at their core. Yet they are also inherently different in what they demand from their followers in exchange to eternal peace.
Title
“Heaven” and “Hell” in the context of three Abrahamic Religions: A look at Christianity, Judaism, and Islam
Explanation
Christianity, Islam and Judaism are monotheistic religions and as such all three affirm the existence of one true Almighty, responsible for the creation and existence of all things on Earth. All three also introduce the idea of “Heaven” and “Hell”, promising perpetual peace and happiness to the righteous and damnation to those who have done wrong in their lives. Good and Evil take the polar opposites of the spectrum of life, creating a roadmap for the devout followers of each religion who want to avoid sin and ensure their arrival in Heaven. The idea of “sin” is also a part of all three religions, but while Christianity believes that we all inherit our sinful nature from Adam, Muslims and Jews denounce the concept of the original sin and instead blame the weak nature of man for his downfall. In Christianity, Judgement Day comes and all those who have sinned go to Hell and their souls will be tortured forever. In Judaism, Gehinnom is a place where most Jews descend after their death. Only the truly pure go to the Garden of Eden, while most have to do a 12-month penance in Gehinnom to account for their sins before getting to enter the Garden. Only the truly wicked are destined to spend forever in purgatory. In Islam, Jahannam is a terrible place Allah created to punish those who have sinned. Unlike the Christian version of Hell, Jahannam is not under the jurisdiction of the devil and is instead a creation of Allah himself. All those who have sinned or lacked belief will suffer the consequences by spending eternity in one of the levels of Jahannam.
While there are undoubtedly differences in the way Christianity, Judaism and Islam view Heaven and Hell, it is indisputable that at their core, all three are attempting to achieve a similar goal. Installing an idea of right and wrong in their followers, a clear way to distinguish the two, and an eternity of suffering to fear if straying from the religious path.
