Growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist church, I experienced first-hand our denomination’s tendency to separate itself from society at large. This reality takes on a physical meaning in the form of the Adventist school system as well as becoming a more abstract phenomenon in regards to the Church’s fundamental leaning on issues such as Sabbath keeping and consumption of meat. In the introduction and part one of their book Seeking a Sanctuary: Seventh-day Adventist and the American Dream,…

the work, Christ returns to bring the good back to Heaven. In one part of the piece, a devil and angel barter for someone’s soul, and in another part souls are fed to demons.

Dante’s response to the chaos of his time was a call to focus on the Aristotelian ideals of love, casting off earthly pleasures, and returning to the…

“As we see it, the two characteristics run like a double rhythm through the Catholic Reformation: the preoccupation of the Catholic reformers with individual or personal reformation and their concern for the restoration and renewal of the Church’s pastoral mission. In short, Catholic reform had a marked personal and pastoral orientation” (Olin, 291). Lutheranism, the first of the Protestant movements, used The Justification by Faith as its basis which declared that one will achieve salvation by…

Ghost in Grey Town forever. Big Ghost does not realize that mercy is his only hope, but in the interview, he refuses grace because God’s forgiveness would require the Ghost to humble himself and forget his “rights.” The proper response to sin is damnation according to the Bible.

IMAGINE A RUIN so strange it must never have happened. First, picture the forest. I want you to be its conscience, the eyes in the trees. The trees are columns of slick, brindled bark like muscular animals overgrown beyond all reason. Every space is filled with life: delicate, poisonous frogs war-painted like skeletons, clutched in copulation, secreting their precious eggs onto dripping leaves. Vines strangling their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight. The breathing of monkeys. A…
