The concept of afterlife has been perhaps the most highly debated topic in the history of recorded time.
Some people accept by faith that there is existence after death, while others simply deny it.
Interestingly enough, no concrete evidence of any sort will ever be found that would determine whether or not there is life beyond the grave. The most published book of all time, the Holy Bible, addresses the subject of afterlife from a divine perspective. This literary masterpiece, which is believed to be the Word of God, seems a logical place to begin researching the puzzling and mysterious concept of life after death. Beginning with the Old Testament, the ideas of afterlife that Hebrews living in these times accepted were based on little or no reliable sources. Although I was raised in the church, I don't ever recall the topic of afterlife in the Old Testament being mentioned.
