Opis

Divine retribution is an acknowledged tenet and/ or idea in almost most cultures and religions. To be more specific, in monotheistic religions, retribution is both teaching and a core-tenet. A large portion of Biblical texts embodies the righteous judgment of the Almighty Lord, His gracious as well as wrath feature. They present this principle in its double-face meaning: the future rewards and bliss to the righteous for their good done, and punishment and misery to the wicked for their evil done in their earthly lives. Both be summed by the doctoral idea of ' heaven' and ' hell'. Such a solemn theme itself is really challenging to be studied linguistically especially from the stylistic perspective for being part and parcel of the Holy Bible; the supreme and highly style religious texts.
