Summary

Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick is Chief Content Officer of Ancient Faith Ministries. He has been podcasting since 2007 and is host of the Orthodox Engagement, Amon Sûl, Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy, and Roads from Emmaus podcasts, and co-host of The Lord of Spirits and The Areopagus Podcast. Today we talk about his new book, Arise O God: The Gospel of Christ’s Defeat of Demons, Sin, and Death (see link below). It's a very succinct introduction to a more cosmic and narrative vision of the Gospel and it captures much of what him and Fr. Stephen De Young have been discussing on the Lord of Spirits Podcast. -Fr.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. I am here with Father Andrew Damik, who doesn't need much of an introduction,
0:05.2	but for those who don't know, he is head of ancient fate publishing content, and he just
0:11.2	published a new book called Arise, O God, the Gospel of Christ, Defeat of Demon, Sins, and
0:16.7	death. And I just finished the book. It's a very interesting and succinct introduction to all the
0:22.1	amazing stuff that he's been talking about with Father Stephen on the Lord of Spirit's podcast
0:27.4	and just kind of introducing people to a more cosmic and a more story version of the
0:33.5	salvation that Christ brings. And so I'm really happy to be able to talk about that with him right now.
0:49.5	This is Jonathan Pejot.
0:51.7	Welcome to the symbolic world.
1:03.3	Thank you very much for having me on, Jonathan. It's always a joy to be with you.
1:07.9	So tell us a little bit about the kind of the impetus for writing this new book of
1:12.1	yours. Right. So I most of my writing comes from a sense of frustration, actually, which I don't
1:19.4	know if that's the best way to do it, but it's what I've got. And my frustration in this particular
1:24.2	case was that I wanted a book that summarized the gospel from a truly
1:30.0	Orthodox Christian point of view that I could use for evangelistic and catechetical purposes
1:36.3	and just trying to relate what the Orthodox Christian faith is to people, you know, for whatever
1:40.7	reason they might be interested in it. And there, as far as I know, at least in English, there, there isn't such a book that does that.
1:49.3	And so I had the idea of particularly framing it in terms of a lot of the things that we talk about in the Lord of the Spirit's podcast because not just to kind of, you know, promote the podcast or whatever,
2:02.0	but because that's what I actually believe the gospel is about, right? And so, you know,
2:09.2	the basic frame is that there is a cosmic war on and we are caught up in the midst of it.
2:14.9	We're kind of in the crossfire. And the gospel is what happens to us really in response to that war.
2:23.3	It's what God does in the midst of that war that has something to do with us as human beings.
