Most Christian theologians readily agree that eschatology-the doctrine of death and the afterlife-owes more to superstition than to supernatural wisdom. "The traditional views of heaven and hell are about 95% mythology," says Notre Dame's Jesuit Biblical Scholar John McKenzie. Except among some fundamentalists, the concept of a three-tier universe with heaven above, hell below and mankind in the middle struggling for divine judgment is recognized as a complete distortion of God's cryptic revelation on eternity...
When heaven and hell are conceived as starting on earth, the demythologizers argue, Christian ethics are bound to be sharply strengthened. Such a concept "imparts a tremendous value to human life here and now," says Boston University's Methodist Scholar S. Paul Schilling. The theologians also argue that a this-worldly heaven and hell are quite in keeping with the Biblical message.

He learned his economics well: the four-year agreement will pay him some $500,000. Actually, it wasn't the money, says Bill. "I found that I really love the game," he explained, "and that I want to test myself against the best." Bill's old coach Willem van Breda Kolff, 44, who engineered...
Harvard should find scoring a bit easier today against Dartmouth. The Indians have a fifteen foot pole vaulter in Rhodes Scholar Henry Wagensail, a 6' 8" high jumper, Chris Ulke, and some depth in the burbles Ulke should breeze, but Wagensail will have to battle Crimson ace Steve Schoonover, and the Big Green hurdlers will have to face streaking Frank Haggerty...
