{"product_id":"plough-quarterly-no-45-the-supernatural","title":"Plough Quarterly No. 45 – The Supernatural","description":"Gone are the flat-earth days of scientific rationalism. Humans, it turns out, are naturally hungry for mystery, magic, faith. There have been laments about disenchantment and calls for re-enchantment. Many who forsake traditional religion are drawn to spiritualism and pagan beliefs and practices. Christians, meanwhile, have always affirmed that there is more than meets our eyes, that our world is teeming with angels and demons, powers and principalities, signs and wonders. The “supernatural” is real; in fact, it’s entirely natural. Whether you believe it or not, there are powers you should rightly fear, and one you should serve.\nOn this theme:\nJoy Marie Clarkson debunks the idea that our world needs re-enchantment.\nAndrew Davison surveys the unseen world’s place in our cosmology.\nAlison Milbank considers the matter of angels as creatures like and unlike us.\nCarlos Eire talks about what drew him to accounts of flying saints.\nFleming Rutledge says true preaching is letting the Holy Spirit speak through you.\nRachel Pieh Jones recounts dreams of Jesus that changed two lives continents apart.\nCharles E. Moore tells a story of demon possession, revival, and miraculous healings that weren’t coincidental.\nBenjamin Crosby asks what “gifts of the spirit” should mark the follower of Jesus.\nAlso in this issue:\nAndré Trocmé tells how his town offered sanctuary to thousands of Jews facing deportation.\nAnti-Nazi theologian Henri de Lubac has a message for today’s Christian nationalists.\nMary Townsend gives up her smartphone and starts noticing things.\nHannah Rose Thomas paints portraits of mothers who survived the Srebrenica massacre.\nThe winning poems in Plough’s fifth annual Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award.\nPlough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face. Each issue includes in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1636081819\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1636081819.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rutledge, Fleming|Milbank, Alison|Mommsen, Peter|Eire, Carlos|Wood, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
