  • - American Christianity in the 2004-2009 Television Series
    av Kevin J. Wetmore
    346,-

    Although the reimagined TV series Battlestar Galactica features religion and theology among its central concerns, the series does not simply use its myriad faiths as plot devices or background material. The series' narrative arc explores the meanings of salvation, prophecy, exile, apocalypse, resurrection, and messianism, and demonstrates the working of a divine will in a material world. This study offers a systematic theology for each of Battlestar Galactica's invented religions and surveys the echoes of American Christianity and theology in the series.
