They will examine how different denominations interpret these teachings, drawing on biblical passages and theological perspectives. The session will also analyse how these beliefs influence Christian behavior, ethics, and attitudes toward life, death, and morality. Through discussion, critical analysis, and reflective activities, students will gain a deeper understanding of the diversity within Christian thought and the practical implications of afterlife and judgment beliefs on daily living.
