Third Order Magazine: Faith, Fiction and the Occasional Extraterrestrial

Religion is personal and societal; it changes single souls and entire worlds. The ways of God are not always easy or explainable. The way faith tells us to go is not always the way we expected. At Third Order Magazine, we're interested in exploring those dynamics. We're less DaVinci Code and more Flannery O'Connor -- with, of course, the occasional extraterrestrial.

We plan to publish, on a quarterly basis, mainstream/traditional, experimental and speculative short fiction that deals with fait...
