This book talks about how ghost stories read back to in the Bible with the book of Job. Mythology also talks about the living and dead in their stories. It also says, “All societies which hold animistic beliefs have been disposed to believe in ghosts” (11). Even Christian literature promotes the existence of supernatural over and over. The Resurrection was pretty much, as some would say, life after death. So, Christians believed in life after death and didn’t even know it.

This small part of this book shows me a lot. It relates to my research because it shows that not only science, but Christianity shows that they are real. But as other sources have said, the church really doesn’t talk about the fact that life is after death, but they worship the fact that it has happened. The symbol of Christians is the cross in which he died on, and Easter is the fact that he is now the Holy Ghost. Why do people not realize that they are praying to a ghost, which some people are actually afraid of?
