Featured Book. Read the companion to this book on Roman Catholicism and greatly appreciated it. Looking forward to what @bethfelkerjones.bsky.social has to say about the "beautiful" and "messy" tradition of Protestantism. @ivpacademic.bsky.social

I was thinking about Coakley's "hunt the pigeon," and I started imagining the Holy Spirit, still depicted as a dove, but as a dove fierce enough to drive off sin and evil.

I had fun working up this design. It's available in two colors at my Redbubble shop.
