About this book
Whether intentional or not, the power of a moment in popular culture like The Witcher can illuminate and question what might be taken for granted or left unseen in our world. Theology, Religion and The Witcher: Gods and Golden Dragons takes a profound look at the intersection of popular culture and religious studies in Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher. The twelve contributors offer close readings and analysis of an eclectic tapestry of characters and stories from The Witcher games, live action role play, Netflix series, short stories and novels. This book is not only an exploration of religious symbolism or theology in the stories, but how dialogue, events and imagery in The Witcher intersect with the real world in which we live, where religious ideologies continue to shape global politics and lives, shifting and pressing upon the entirety of civilization, for better or for worse.
