Star Trek and Faith, Volume 1

Christian Worldview and Trek Series New and Old

About this book

From The Original Series of the 1960s to Strange New Worlds today, Star Trek has always explored philosophical and religious ideas, pushing the boundaries of thought and entertaining us along the way. While full of secular concepts, the franchise has interacted with Christian beliefs for decades. In Star Trek and Faith, Mark S. Hansard examines the intersection of Star Trek and Christianity, utilizing logic and critical thinking to investigate the ideas in both new and old Trek series to compare them with a Christian worldview. Is Christianity manipulative? Is God capricious, angry, and insecure? Is it rational to believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Does predestination contradict our free will? Join Hansard in a thrilling ride through the galaxy, exploring Christian ideas through the lens of Star Trek.
