The parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 serves as the focal point of our deep dive. Often cited as evidence for the existence of a literal hell where souls endure eternal torment, we are prompted to question whether this passage is indeed a straightforward account of the afterlife or a parable with a metaphorical lesson. This investigation requires a thorough understanding of the terms 'Hades' and 'Sheol' as they appear in the Bible and their alignment with the broader teachings on resurrection and judgment. In doing so, we uncover that 'Sheol' is more accurately a place of the dead awaiting resurrection—a hope deeply rooted in Israel's faith.
- Topics: The Rich man and Lazarus Parable, Hell, Hades, Sheol, Luke 16, eternal death, eternal life, Enoch, Pseudepigrapha, Hellenistic Jews.
