Ectasy of Death, A poem by Eby
| January 27, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, Christian Short Stories, General, literary apologetics, morality |
In ACM’s latest literary magazine edition a poem by Therese Eby appeared called ‘Tis but the Ecstasy of Death; Modern Literature and the Question of Belief.
I am not one who typically finds much enjoyment in poems. I have a couple of favorites but it takes a lot to impress me as far as poetry goes. Therese Eby’s poem I thoroughly enjoyed. Yes, it was dark, with a dose of the morbid and macabre in with some blistering observations about the human condition… but maybe that’s why I liked it.

A Thing with Feathers needs its neck wrung.
Where Poet, Bard and Story Teller see

a Casualty, there is a faith and despair sung.
Evil and Christ are historic events,
and God is a character actor.

Literary Magazine with Apologetics Emphasis November Edition
| November 2, 2010 | Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Blog, literary apologetics |
I am very pleased to announce that our first edition of Athanatos Christian Ministry’s newest endeavor, Literary Apologetics.Mag, has been released as of yesterday, Nov. 1st, 2010.
The website is: http://literaryapologetics.com/
The basic purpose of the magazine is to deliberately and intentionally cultivate a perspective within the Church that acknowledges the important role of the arts in our culture in shaping viewpoints and- and this is important- seeks to participate and emphasize the arts (rather than withdrawing from them, or condemning them).
You can read the current edition online by going to the link above or you can download the magazine in several editions, including a digital book version (epub) and in a print ready pdf, by going here.
In Defense of the Arts: Article in ChristianVideoMag
| August 24, 2010 | Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Blog, Christianity and Culture, literary apologetics, Love |
I was recently invited to submit articles for consideration in a mag called Christian Video Magazine. I was delighted to take them up on the offer. My first article was published today in their August edition.
Interestingly, our online apologetics conference presenter Robert Velarde also appears in this edition. Check his article out. It’s worth it.
Excerpt:
“He has set eternity in the hearts of men…” So begins chapter three, verse eleven, of the book of Ecclesiastes. I bet everyone sometimes falls into the habit of thinking that the only real things are those things we grasp with our five senses, but I would also wager that we have all experienced the angst and restlessness that shows that our rat race lives cannot provide us all the satisfactions we need. Christianity would offer another interpretation for that unsettled feeling: it is homesickness.
Announcing: Online Literary Apologetics Conference
| March 5, 2010 | Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Birth Pangs, Blog, Christianity and Culture, General, literary apologetics |
I am proud to announce that Athanatos Christian Ministries will be hosting its first annual online apologetics conference this May.
http://onlineapologeticsconference.com/
The theme for the conference is ‘literary apologetics.’ Potentially, future conferences will tackle some other brand of communicating or defending the Gospel through the arts. ‘Literary apologetics’ is, obviously, using the written word to carry out that endeavor. Notable examples are C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, and Dorothy Sayers, to name a few.
The purpose of the conference is to issue a call to Christians in the arts to express their faith through them and issue a call to the Christian Church to help them in a more deliberate fashion.
The conference is taking registrations now. The cost is $35 for the two day event, but discounts are available for students and there is an early bird special in place before March 15th.
