Dr. David Goodin has arisen once again to join us for a Halloween show. In an age where vampire mythology permeates popular culture, Goodin’s new article “WHAT WE [ACTUALLY] DO IN THE SHADOWS: Vampires in Orthodox Christianity through the lens of Kostova’s The Historian” explores the complex relationship between Orthodox Christianity and vampire folklore.
Discover how the Orthodox Church’s historical accommodation of vampire beliefs and warrior-saint veneration has had far-reaching consequences that echo into modern geopolitics. From the streets of ancient Constantinople to the modern battlefields of Eastern Europe, Dr. Goodin traces how popular demands have shaped both vampire folk beliefs and theology in unexpected ways, revealing surprising impacts on major issues affecting our present world.
