Table of ContentsReviews"""The Superpowers and the Glory uses the modern-day mythology of superheroes to help readers process diverse theological concepts and connect to biblical truth in an exciting, accessible way. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy these films or want to dip your toes into big ideas about faith, this is your book!"" --Abby Olcese, columnist, Sojourners magazine ""I'm so grateful to have The Superpowers and the Glory. With his signature wit and insight, George takes us deep into the mythologies of these latter-day titans, weaving in sharp theological insight to put into words why we loved these caped (and less-caped) crusaders so much. This book is a real labor of love that is a blast to read and will enrich anyone with ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches."" --JR. Forasteros, teaching pastor, Catalyst Church ""No mere catalogue of superheroic Christ figures, The Superpowers and the Glory brings historical context, careful criticism, astute theology, and a pertinent application of Scripture to a genre that has come to dominate our pop culture landscape. You'll come away from Joe George's book nerdier, in the best way possible."" --Josh Larsen, author of Movies Are Prayers" """The Superpowers and the Glory uses the modern-day mythology of superheroes to help readers process diverse theological concepts and connect to biblical truth in an exciting, accessible way.
