Description
Reading Shakespeare through a Christian Lens
This special Advent issue of An Unexpected Journal will delight more than just huge English literature fans or apologetics aficionados. The aim is to interest the scholar, yes, but also the general reader who has no special knowledge of English literature, Shakespeare, or apologetics.
The defense of the Christian faith leaves out no domain of human experience. All areas, including the history of ideas political, philosophical, scientific, and social, are fair game for apologetic research and discussion. All that we express in literature (especially the dramatic arts) deals with our experience, and experience is tied to the One who Makes, Redeems, and Sanctifies experience.
