An Unexpected Journal: Shakespeare & Cultural Apologetics: Shakespeare and Christianity - on the religious views of the Bard

by Joe Ricke (Editor), Sarah R.A. Waters (Editor), John D. Cox, Jem Bloomfield, Jack Heller

Overview

Reading Shakespeare through a Christian Lens

Not only huge English literature fans or apologetics aficionados will be
delighted by this special Advent issue of An Unexpected Journal. 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 believes that 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.
