Issue 55 is all about resurrection stories, large and small. We asked writers to share experiences of new life springing from old wounds or moments of confession and redirection. This is our first exclusively online issue. You can find all the content in this issue here as it is released.
Some highlights in this issue:
Abby Ciona writes about how villain archetype narratives have changed over time, asking: what is good and bad about blurring the lines between villain and hero?
What does Augustine have to say about our polarized, economically and politically unstable climate? Daniel Dorman turns to The City of God in search of hope while facing an uncertain future.
Spring-time is a seasonal reminder of new life emerging from winter’s dormancy. So too, Easter’s story is one of life, but it begins with death. Sarah Emtage reflects on grief and loss at Easter-time, and what it means to know that spring does come.
