Through a Glass Darkly is Oxford's first student-led journal in Christian thought.
In our inaugural issue, we’re thinking about excess. Abundance is often perceived as good, but our unlimited wants seem to always bleed into wasteful excess—think about the environmental impacts of consumerism, or the inequality resulting from accumulation of wealth. But there are also more intangible types of excess—excessive investments in relationships, excessive insistence on ideologies, and even the excessive desires that drive many of these other excesses.
The essays, poetry, and art in this issue seek to look at these challenging questions from various angles, ranging from ecology to economics and Ecclesiastes. We’ve learnt much from assembling these different viewpoints, and perhaps you will too.
