Christian Beowulf "The Almighty making the earth‚ shaping these beautiful plains marked off by oceans‚ then proudly setting the sun and moon to glow across the land and light it;" (Ll.92-95) Here it is stated that God created the earth and all of its beauty.

Dante was exiled by Pope Boniface‚ which led him to write this poem‚ Dante’s Inferno.

The world created mirrors perfection‚ with this perfect world came the creation of moral autonomy to all human beings and angels. After evil and suffering entered the world due to the Original Sin‚ came the Fall of Archangel Lucifer. In consequence‚ disharmony and chaos was bought in to the world and to living beings due to the absence of good in themselves‚ which tempted the world‚ as we are Adam’s ‘limbs’. We are ‘seminally’ present in them so we deserve to be punished in consequence
