Homer, Dante Homer and Dante
In Homer's, the Odyssey and Dante's, the Inferno, we see the universal quest of the hero. But there is a difference. The Odyssey is an epic adventure that would certainly be deemed heroic in its very being.
Apostles and their historical significance
When we compare with the canon for dogmatic statements, the propositions, on the one hand, concerning the Person of Christ which we have so far set forth, and on the other the statements contained in the oldest creeds expressing these facts (i.e. Resurrection, Ascension, and Judgment), it will be seen that the former correspond to both the requirements insisted on, and the latter to neither. For if the saving efficacy of Christ depends upon the being of God in Him, and trust in Him is based upon the impression' that such a living being of God indwells Him, then it is not possible to prove any immediate connection between these facts and that doctrine. The disciples acknowledged in Him the Son of God exclusive of having the faintest forewarning of His rebirth and ascension, and we as well may say the same of ourselves; furthermore neither the spiritual presence which He assured nor all that He said about His lasting influence upon those who were left behind is arbitrated through each of these two facts (Orlinsky & Bratcher, 1991).
