Issue 26: The Holy Spirit
$4.00 – $15.00Price range: $4.00 through $15.00
Description
The Christian faith holds that wherever the Spirit is, there is freedom. Freedom to try, to fail, to play. In other words, we had fun putting this issue together, and hope you have fun reading it. Dappled with new comics by artist John Hendrix, our pages also feature bold personal essays: Elizabeth Oldfield speaks in tongues; Kylee Pastore Asirvatham perceives the Spirit amidst mental unhealth; and Stephanie Phillips contemplates the beautiful persistence of breath. Contributing scholars apply their intellects to the wilder sides of life: Linden Smith addresses the inexplicable nature of conversion; Karen Kilby humbles herself before the Trinity; James K. A. Smith looks back on the Pentecostalism of his youth; and Leopoldo A. Sánchez M. proclaims a word of relief to those tiring of religious performance. Additionally, we have interviews with theologian Simeon Zahl, reporter Claire Hoffman, jazz historian Ruth Naomi Floyd; and musician Andy Sqyures in conversation with historian of religion Caleb Maskell about creativity, suffering, and healing. We fan the flames with advice from Sarah Condon and a Spirited playlist by David Zahl, plus recommended reading, humor, poetry, and, well, you’ll see. Read on, as the Spirit moves you.
