Theology and the Star Wars Universe, Hardback Book

Theology and the Star Wars Universe Hardback

Edited by Benjamin D. Espinoza

Part of the Theology, Religion, and Pop Culture series

Hardback

Description

Scholars have been arguing for years that Star Wars is more than light sabers, Wookies, Millennium Falcons, and troubling familial relationships.

Star Wars is an exciting space fantasy that we can explore from multiple academic perspectives, such as philosophy and psychology.

This volume adds to that conversation by asking, “what would it look like if we analyzed the Star Wars universe theologically?” In Theology and the Star Wars Universe, contributors from various theological traditions take on this task by exploring the nature of the Force, the spiritual role of the Jedi, nonviolent and liberationist readings of the Franchise, and the enduring power of hope.

Written for the restless, curious academic but accessible to diehard fans, Theology and the Star Wars Universe is an exciting foray into the study of theology and popular culture.
