Description

In a growing category of titles that mine popular culture for theological significance, this addition is notable for its scholarly aspirations and weight of critical apparatus. English professor Bertonneau and religion scholar Paffenroth "read" their DVD collections of classic TV sci-fi with tremendous seriousness, reflected through the literary and anthropological sensibilities of thinkers including Mircea Eliade, Nicolas Berdyaev and René Girard.

The classics featured are an eclectic bunch, including iconic standards like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone and The X Files as well as series that found a smaller (but certainly devoted) following: Dr. Who, The Prisoner and Babylon 5. These series justify in-depth attention when they raise moral, intellectual and religious questions in imaginative ways.
