The Theology of Sci-Fi

Fold space using the spice mélange 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.

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.
