LITERATURE TO RELIGION AND RELIGION TO LITERATURE: CHANGING COLOURS OF THE BIBLE

Every age crystallizes its own set of morals and the codified morals fermented into finery of religion. The basic source even for history is literature. One has to understand that the early literature has influenced the formation of religions. All religions greatly influenced subsequent literature and the holy Bible is no exception. In this paper we are trying to make an attempt to highlight how the earlier tragedies influenced the tragedy of Jesus or salvation of Jesus and how the later tragedies were influenced by the New Testament. The purpose of religion and literature is to assuage the inner turmoil and to soften the ruffled feathers of human emotions.
