I finished my senior year several months earlier than projected, but a technicality required me to continue to go to school everyday. In order to keep me occupied, my teachers would occasionally give me a writing topic or just let me come up with one. The following essay is one example of the latter, and its one I've looked into rather often over the years since I first ran across the idea in the short book Scientific Facts In The Bible: 100 Reasons To Believe The Bible Is Supernatural In Origin. I've rewritten it quite a few times, and this latest version was used in my college English course.

A priest learns of a cosmic horror

What if the entire Bible isn't a history book or a rulebook-but the most passionate, dramatic love story ever written? ​We all long for a love that never ends. But most of us read Scripture as two separate stories (Old Testament Law and New Testament Grace), leaving us feeling perpetually single and confused. We wonder: Where did the intimacy go? ​HOLY MATRIMONY reveals the sacred architecture hidden beneath the surface of the Canon: The eternal love story between the Word (Structure) and the Spirit (Breath). ​Discover the Sevenfold Rhythm of the Covenant-a pulse of divine love that repeats through Genesis, the Gospels, and your own life: Wholeness \ Separation \ Conflict \ Awakening \Reconciliation \ Renewal \ Abiding. ​From the first vow spoken in Eden to the sealing of the promise on the Cross-and the Pentecost kiss that made your heart the new altar-this book is your invitation to the Wedding. ​This ceremony never ended. It stepped out of the Scripture and into you. ​Open these pages to finally understand the rhythm of your own heart, and realize you have been dancing to the music of the Bridegroom all along.

Thus it begins! Godless Artists is currently a book I am writing on how the works we create and the progress we make as artists are inherently much more worthwhile than if these works were predetermined or if our talents were gifted by an omniscient overseer. Hopefully this will turn out the way I wish and I can articulate my thesis efficiently.
