    Several questions at [email protected] were about hell. Will the wicked suffer forever in torments of flame? Will they be there as long as we are in heaven? What about people who don't know about Jesus? There were perhaps ten variations on this theme. I have been hesitant to answer these questions because I am in the middle of a major study on this myself. If you will offer me permission to "think aloud" on this difficult topic and be kind to offer me grace if I am wrong, I will go ahead and begin to answer. It may take several columns to deal with the issues involved. Full disclosure: I believe there are elements of ego and wish fulfillment that hover around any theological discussion. I want to be upfront about my own issues here. I was raised in the far right of the Church of Christ. All people who didn't follow our system were, I was assured, bound for eternity in flames. A million million years in torment, they would be no closer to the end of their suffering than they were on the day they died. This hell-bound group included more than the obvious candidates (smokers, drinkers, dancers, atheists, card players, Hitler). It also consisted of any person who went to any other church than our particular branch of the CoC. I didn't want that to be true. I agonized even as a young child about how God could burn people forever and yet say "God is love." I bring this up because, as I paw through this pile of books on my desk this cold, snowy morning, I want to be open and say that my desire to find an alternative view might be impacting me in subconscious ways.

  • Post-Traumatic Narrativization of Myths and Fairy Tales in John Banville's Th
    Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 16, 2021, pp. 153-164. https://doi.org/10.24162/EI2021-9981 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI From “dead saint” to “lyreless Orpheus”: Post-traumatic Narrativization of Myths and Fairy Tales in John Banville’s The Sea and Anne Enright’s The Gathering Héloïse Lecomte École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France Copyright (c) 2021 by Héloïse Lecomte. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. In The Sea (2005) and The Gathering (2007), John Banville and Anne Enright incorporate modernist and postmodernist intertextuality into accounts of bereavement. While the shattered existence of the protagonists is seemingly devoid of religious belief, they mobilize the palimpsestic immemorial past of mythological and fairy-tale intertexts to make sense of broken realities. The narrators’ self-portraits and invocations of lost people and places, oscillating between reminiscence and mythification, underscore postmodernism’s play with canonical stories. Both authors use mythological syncretism to express their characters’ quest for meaning: while Greek, Egyptian and Norse gods invade The Sea’s modern-day “Atlantis” (132), The Gathering is peopled with subverted Christian and Irish figures. However, rather than restoring coherence, myth and fairy-tale tropes are suffused with desperate irony, and the magic spell woven by mythological counterpoints turns out to be a post-traumatic, grimacing reflection of the characters’ troubled psyches, or an obfuscating screen. By interweaving and debunking seminal myths and tales, Banville and Enright give life to personal myths that bespeak the characters’ deep-seated sense of loss and disenchantment.

  • Whiskey Soaked and Hell Bound. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Southern Culture
    WHISKEY SOAKED AND HELL BOUND: LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND SOUTHERN CULTURE CECIL K. HUTSON lowa State University (Resumen) Aunque el grupo sureño Lynyrd Skynyrd alcanzó audiencia nacional por su especial modo de hacer rock del sur, en toda su carrera se aprecia una fuerte defensa de los valores tradionales de la cultura sureña. La bandera confederada en todas sus portadas, el orgullo regional, el agrarianismo rural, y la apología al macho sureño, todo ello proyectado en violencia y provocación, convirtieron al grupo en paradigma del conservadurismo del Viejo Sur. Unlike other hard rock groups, the legendary Southern rock and roll band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, did not emerge from the urban ghettos of such cities as London or New York, instead it came out of the rural South. This "rough and tough and plenty mean" Southern band utilized regional cultural traits to become one of the best hard rock bands that the South ever produced. In 1974 Melody Maker, a major rock and roll trades magazine, claimed that Lynyrd Skynyrd's "brand" of Southern rock music had swept across the Southern states. Band members and Southemers, Ronnie Van Zant, Alien Collins, Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, León Wilkeson, Artimus Pyle and Steve Gaines understood the mind-set of the young rural Southemers who listened to their music; thus they were able to speak for a generation of young Southern men. Lynyrd Skynyrd merits study as a major element of Southern popular culture because it had a significant influence on rock 'n' roll. In fact, the band has been labeled as "one of the most

  • 1 Is There a Hell?
    Is There a Hell? Pastor Kelly Sensenig Donald Grey Barnhouse was called to the hospital by a doctor friend. An atheist who disliked Barnhouse was dying. Barnhouse responded, "I'll come right over to see him." The doctor noted, "But he doesn't like you." But Barnhouse insisted he was coming anyway. He entered the patient's room, grabbed a chair, sat down and folded his arms and said nothing. The atheist was curious and irritated. "All right, what do you want, Barnhouse?," he finally asked. Barnhouse answered, "I've come to see what it's like when an atheist goes to hell." Then he proceeded to lead him to Christ. Voltaire, on his deathbed, addressed his doctor: “I am abandoned by God and man. I will give you half of what I am worth, if you will give me six months’ life.” The doctor replied, “Sir, you cannot live six weeks.” Voltaire replied, “Then I shall go to hell, and you will go with me.” Soon after he expired. It seems that the doctrine of hell disappeared from the church and nobody noticed. The doctrine of hell seems to be out of step with our times. The only people who use the words “hell” and “damn” are those who curse or swear and take the subject of eternal punishment lightly. Hell is mostly a curse word or joke work among people today. Many laugh at the very idea of such a place. They scoff at the Word of God, which teaches about an eternal place of suffering. In today’s pulpits hell is a vanishing doctrine.

  • From “Michael” by William Wordsworth
    1 For the delight of a few natural hearts; And, with yet fonder feeling, for the sake Of youthful Poets, who among these hills Will be my second self when I am gone. From “Michael” by William Wordsworth 2 Prose For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty. John Cheever 3 Honorable Mention – Jaedyn Johnson Karin Orchard – Daniel Boone High School The House The palms of my hands sweated heavily as my friend and I stood in a line of at least fifty people. I was anxious, and my face grew pale as loud blood curdling screams echoed through the trees. ‘Twas the night before Halloween and I somehow ended up standing in the line of the scariest haunted house in my city. The fear of faces jumping out at me and the terrifying laughs that seemed to play at my emotions gobbled up my insides. The other thing that made my skin crawl was that the haunted house was in the middle of nowhere. It was as if we were in an actual horror movie. Fog surrounded the house as if it were some blanket that kept the house warm. Although, there were no warm feelings coming from that house. I could tell it was staring at me, eyes as glowing green windows and a mouth of two unwelcoming wooden doors. The paint job of the house was a horrific brown color and the smell was musty as if I were in some swamp.
