Beskrivning

Theology and Spider-Man provides a look at the religious themes present in one of the most popular heroes of the past half-century, Spider-Man. In order to create a systematic theology of Spider-Man, the contributors delve into themes of sin, salvation, and creedal theology, while also addressing liberation theology, Black theology, bioethics, and hermeneutics. This volume balances theological depth with discussion of the comics and films, which makes it a perfect collection for those interested in theology, Spider-Man, or both.

Recensioner i media

As one driven by guilt and a deep sense of moral responsibility, Spider-Man is a character well-primed for theological exploration. George Tsakiridis has assembled a fascinating collection of well-reasoned and engaging essays that probe the depths of this complex and multi-layered character. This book is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature on the theological value of Spider-Man.
