Developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts, Dante's Inferno is a 2010 action-adventure game that takes players on a harrowing quest through the depths of Hell. Released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation Portable (with the latter version developed by Artificial Mind and Movement), the game loosely follows the story of Inferno, the first part of Divine Comedy. Players take on the role of Dante, reimagined as a Templar knight from The Crusades, who must battle through the nine circles of Hell to save his beloved Beatrice from the clutches of Lucifer. With the spirit of the poet Virgil as his guide, Dante embarks on a perilous journey, armed with a powerful scythe that can be used in a variety of devastating combination attacks and finishing moves. As players progress through the game, they can unlock new attack combinations and abilities by collecting souls, the in-game currency obtained by defeating the denizens of Hell.

This guy really is a good Christian theologian, noting out those similarities between the New Testament’s vocabulary for instance and its clear inspirations from Greek mythology that was local to most of the writers of the NT. As a Christian myself, it is refreshing to see a pastor like him who actually engages with the Bible both inside and out So lots of people have been noting out a very bad wording problem on my part; so sorry about that😅🙏🏻🙏🏻thx for the reminder and I’ll be more mindful No, there are no ideological influences, merely the texts borrowed words from the myths as this was the language they used at the time, so it was an easier mode to express their values. The Bible does mention to use the language of the people you are preaching to, thus those influences. Again, so sorry, and I’ll pay closer attention to what I say

In the Bible Jesus taught about forgiveness, love and turning away or repentance of sin. This pastor gets it right in that being a Christian is not about being perfect or better than others, it’s about turning away from your old sinful ways, fighting that sin nature and loving one another. The goal is to finish the journey and spread the good news about Jesus to the world.

[@docsavage7163]

@@koreancowboy42 It’s for that reason why people need to read the Bible themselves. The Bible says that there will be false teachers who will teach lies or use the Bible for personal gain. And you should also remember that in the Middle Ages, most people who could read were a part of the clergy or nobility. In a populace of people who can’t read the main religious text a man with evil intentions can easily misconstrue or outright lie about what is in the Bible to get what he want from the people. It wasn’t until the printing press was created that the general populace of people were able to have widespread access to books to learn how to read and find out the lies they had been fed by false or corrupt teachers.

[@SefniAsheforr]

He's not wrong about the Greek influence, but it's also heavily influenced by Roman mythology, culture, and figures. Dante was Italian and spoke Latin, and was obviously a huge fan of the Roman poet Virgil. Don't forget that many Roman figures were part of the Inferno, such as the "noble pagans" of the first circle and the assassins of Julius Caesar that were in the 9th circle along with Lucifer and Judas. Roman culture had a huge influence on Dante because that was basically his history, being that he was Italian. Also, in this game we have the boss fight with Cleopatra and the Roman politician and military leader Marcus Antonius (Marc Antony). The Roman influence on the Divine Comedy cannot be understated. I mean, Dante was a Catholic and Rome invented Catholicism.

He and generations under him are much more likely to examine something thoroughly before making that call.

[@Big_John_]

Gameology always gets the best people like this guy! Keep up the good work

[@Iffem]

i've done some looking into the Divine Comedy over the years, and the thing with the Priests and Cardinals in the Greed circle was Dante (as in the original author) calling out the church for the practice of Indulgences, which was basically paying for your sins to be forgiven... and he was right to call that crap out because that's not how any of this works, especially since that money tended to go more towards lining the clergymen's pockets instead of making the church better or serving the community. Also, i think Anger being called out as a deadly sin is less of "Don't get mad" and more of "Don't let yourself be controlled by anger to the point that you do some unforgivable stuff because of it"... which honestly makes Wrath always feel like a more accurate name for it than just Anger

You nailed the point about wrath. In the purgatory the wrothful sinners are surrounded by smoke, making them blind like they were in life.

[@robertlombardo8437]

The three pomegranate seeds Beatrice eats are also a reference to Persephone, the wife of Hades, who ate three pomegranate seeds while she was in the underworld, meaning she had to stay in the Underworld with Hades for 3 months out of the year, which angered her mother, Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture (that's not the only thing she does, but that's the main thing that's talked about in regards to her), and so she made the Earth cold for those 3 months that Demeter was separated from Persephone.

[@darksaiyan2006]

Beatrice eating the pomegranate seeds specifically is also a reference to Persephone doing the same to tie herself to Hades - the pomegranate being a symbol of the indissolubility of marriage. Satan also does the bridal carry with Beatrice after the fact.

[@Riven48]

That being said Hades and Satan are completely different Hades and Greek mythology was probably the nicest guys you could meet he didn't do anything outside of ruling the underworld which was a necessity and would usually help Greek Heroes out when they came to the underworld the most damning thing he did was marrying Persephone but the versions of how that happens are different depending on which version of the story you look at

I’ve been going through a lot recently and although I managed to not turn back to drugs I’ve been struggling with my religion. For some reason I’ve watched the 3 videos with this pastor talking video games and just hearing him talk has sort of re breathed faith back into my life

[@johnirby8847]

The word "hell" in the English language is rooted in Germanic/Viking "hel." Christians had no word to describe it in those languages so it became a loan word that means the same. Hel = the place people go that don't go to Valhalla. Hell = the place people go to that don't go to heaven.

[@VideoGameModMuseum]

In the original Hebrew bible, the term is "Sheol", which is also not entirely different sounding. However, when the OT was translated in Greek around 200BCE, they used the term Haides or Hades for hell, which is the same as the name of the greek underworld. This was also used when the NT was written later in Rome. English being a Germanic language, "Hell" is most likely derived from "Hel" as you mentioned. Similarly the German term "Hölle", which in some dialects is pronounced "Helle".

[@gannielukks1811]

In romance languages is "Inferno"

Hearing an actual priest's reaction and introspection about this game is secretly something I've always wanted to hear.

Would very much like to see him come back and identify another game with heavy religious overtones, like Outcast 2, maybe?

[@HistorysRaven]

Pastor, not priest. And that is an important distinction. Because he isn't a Catholic priest, he can do a good job of giving an overall summary, but we don't get a more in-depth explanation of certain things, like Purgatory, the Seven Sins, or the reason behind the demon babies beyond "they aren't baptized."

It's a shame you missed the scene where they discuss how he finds all these people relevant to his own suffering because not just is he in hell, he is in 'his' hell. And everything he sees comes from his mind and life. I always found that scene very interesting.

[@ErdingerLi]

A pastor's take on the Diablo franchise would be cool too since the plot of Diablo is also inspired by Abrahamic faith

[@sickleberet2233]

It is amazing to see how they’re trying to make a game based on religious and mythology stories. I love it,I’ve never played Dante’s Inferno but I someday want to try.

[@DJWeapon8]

Play it. Its a really good game. Explores christian theology and greek mythology. And the story is cool, too. Its a good primer for anyone who wants to read the actual Divine Comedy.

[@thetruenemesis469]

What system is Dante inferno play on?

[@RaskaTheFurry]

this was quite chill and a bit educational. Thank you for the vid. Although im a devout atheist, I enjoyed this vid and the history and all of this

[@rjco9409]

need dante's inferno 2 NOW

[@atomic747]

But how can there be a 2?

[@DigiDoesStuff]

The game is based off a book and as far as I'm aware there's no second book

[@rjco9409]

@@DigiDoesStuff I know I was joking, but a remastered would be great

[@Just-Ignore-It_88]

There was talks of a Dante inferno 2 by the devs after the game released but never happened.

Beatrice’s ex?

[@oshikurutensai8206]

It was a missed opportunity that they didn't show the Cerberus battle where Dante does the Holy Trinity to defeat Cerberus. I would've wanted him to react to that.

Castlevania 64 also has it, in the beginning of Reinhardt's campaign.

In Greek mythology Persephone ate the pomegranate seeds which made her bound to Hades the place. In Dantes Inferno it was a pomegranate which does parallel Genesis with a forbidden fruit that would have consequences for being consumed.

[@BanHelsing]

underrated game

[@nivramaz7998]

Man I love hearing this guy!

[@jonalaurenson7242]

I like how he just breaks down scenes from the games and shows insight to his faith and not try to force us to into it

[@Mr_Mistah]

You know Christians are literally called to spread the gospel right?

[@piercepayumo4212]

Yes the Holy man is back.

[@Pokeater]

What I love about this is he isn't ready to call this the devil. But I really do love how he tries to explain the meaning behind the aspects of biblical parts and tries to explain people who don't know the true meaning behind it instead of saying this is evil and the writer is evil

[@far5527]

I like how they place the camera pov at the 'spot'

[@Misteranderson123]

This was a great idea for a video

[@yatespmx]

It was cool to see Greek and Christian mythos being compared. It was different than their usual stuff, but very good.

[@williamthompson1455]

Even though it's Roman and not Greek. Are we sure this guy know what he is talking about? I'm not. Sounds like a bunch word salad in christian form. Alot of misinformation and nonsense. It's kinda sad. His other videos seemed better. Only seem a few. But this one was garbage. So much wrong information.

[@yatespmx]

@@williamthompson1455 What is the it that is roman? Dante's inferno is a mash up of other mythos to include Greek and Roman. As an example, in Canto VI, Dante and Virgil come across Cerberus, a three-headed dog with beastly attributes. But I hear you, if you are a Christian some of his words could be off same if you are a believer in the old gods, etc... I think I just enjoyed the compare and contrast.

[@MrNamePending]

would it be possible to have Princeton react to Evil Dead the Game when it comes out? it might be ridiculous but I know there is a lot of demons and evil powers that I would love to hear his opinion on.

[@alang.bandala8863]

Very pleased with the Pastor. The subject is based and knows what he is talking about, as an enthusiast of Christian and Greek mythology, I can only regret that the game has not had a sequel, because it would be beautiful to see the twisted version of Purgatory and Heaven.

[@stxrenegade]

I didnt know i wanted this reaction but damn am i happy i got it

[@Alexindiegamedev]

I gained respect for this priest he admits some christianity stories come from other mythologies while most will not

He won't admit that the tales of Jesus and Christianity is a mashup of Horus, Mithra, and Zoroastrianism.

This was definitely a very interesting video to watch. This was one of my favorite games to play when it came out and I like how he draws the parallels between the mythos and the Christian theology.
