Ex Fonte Magazine Releases Fifth Edition Exploring the Unseen Spiritual World
In Fall 2024, Gordon-Conwell launched Ex Fonte magazine to be a unifying force within the context of a fracturing Christian body in a broken culture. We are excited to announce that the fifth issue, titled “Defend us in Battle: The Hidden World of our Celestial Friends (and Enemies),” is now available. In this edition, we invite readers to lift the veil between the visible and invisible celestial world that surrounds us. From angels and saints to demonic opposition, from the cosmic imagination of C. S. Lewis to the testimonies of the nearly departed, this issue reminds us that the Christian life unfolds within a vast and vivid cosmos—alive with companions, adversaries, and the presence of God himself.
