But what if that first fevered, dreamlike writing about this moment of profound historical upheaval were to be resurrected itself, brought back to life in a haunting fable for our modern age?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn THE HARROWING OF HELL, Evan Dahm draws upon a wide array of texts both ancient and modern, religious and historical, to create a brand new window into the life and death of Christ, a vision of a dying man's revolutionary drive and fervent belief in humanity's salvation from all manner of jailers. Discarding the heroic, demon-smiting Christ that has taken hold in the popular imagination, this story gives us a peaceable and contemplative Christ, defiantly at odds with the ancient and modern desires of His flock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA richly symbolic, densely illustrated allegorical tale that echoes back to us from ancient times, THE HARROWING OF HELL is a fascinating reinterpretation of one of the most important religious figures in history, before He was the god of the wealthy and powerful, before He was recast as the warrior worshipers preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iron Circus Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945820441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Evan Dahm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672165773468,"sku":"9781945820441","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3016aceb-ce06-4938-9b61-492fc7a9457d.jpg?v=1603927106","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-harrowing-of-hell-9781945820441","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
