The Theology of Sci-Fi: The Christian's Guide to the Galaxy

By Scott L Smith

Fold space using the spice m lange and travel from "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" to the planet Krypton, from Trantor to Terminus, and back to the scorched skies of earth.

Did you know there is a Virgin Birth at the core of Star Wars? A Jewish Messiah of Dune? A Holy Family in Superman? A Jesus and Judas in The Matrix? And the Catholic Church is Asimov's Foundation?

This book covers a lot of territory. It spans galaxies and universes. Nevertheless, the great expanse of human imagination will forever be captivated by the events of the little town of Bethlehem.

There is a reason that all of mankind's stories overlap, coincide, correlate, and copy. Like it or not, all mankind bears the same indelible stamp, the mark of Christ. Why should there be a singular story binding us all? Unless we are truly all bound as one human family. At the core of the Monomyth is not another myth, a neat coincidence, but a reality-the reality of Jesus Christ.

At the heart of the Monomyth is a man, a very real man. The God-Man. The source and summit of all hero stories and myths ever told, both before and after those short 33 years in First Century Israel.
