Gamers & God: Faith, Play, and the Spirituality of Gaming

By Vincent Froom

In the immersive worlds of gaming, where battles rage, alliances form, and quests unfold, is there room for faith? Vincent Froom takes readers on a groundbreaking journey through the intersection of gaming culture and spirituality in Gamers & God: Faith, Play, and the Spirituality of Gaming.

In this compelling exploration, Froom dives into the unique ways gaming has become a space for spiritual reflection, moral decision-making, and even community worship. From MMORPGs to indie titles, he unpacks how game narratives mirror theological themes like redemption, sacrifice, and hope. Can gaming be a path to God? Can virtual worlds deepen real-world faith?

With captivating stories, thoughtful theological analysis, and firsthand accounts from players and game developers, Gamers & God bridges the gap between faith traditions and gaming culture. Whether you're a gamer, a pastor, or a curious onlooker, this book challenges stereotypes and invites readers to see gaming as more than a pastime-it's a spiritual frontier.

Gaming 2025: Exploring Faith and God Online

Froom's second feature, Gaming 2025, expands the conversation by exploring how emerging technologies like VR, AR, and AI are reshaping the ways people encounter God in digital spaces. As churches create virtual sanctuaries and gamers host Bible studies on Discord, Gaming 2025 examines the possibilities and challenges of faith in a hyper-connected, online world.

Together, these works are a call to engage with the spirituality of gaming-acknowledging the divine spark even in pixelated worlds. Whether you're raiding dungeons or designing them, Gamers & God will open your eyes to the profound spiritual potential of play.

Prepare to level up your faith journey.
