Información de la editorial

This book is an examination of Christian ideas from the stories of Star Trek. Concepts in Christian philosophy and theology are examined within each of the five Star Trek series, such as the problem of suffering, the soul, our desires arguing against Christian morals, end times, God's Judgment, Christian virtues, and legalism opposed to licentiousness. Then four different Star Trek aliens' religious systems are examined. Vulcan religion is examined with the interplay of logic and religion. Next is Klingon religion, as an example of the power of stories to cultivate virtue, honor, and passion. After that Ferengi religion is used as an illustration of perverting religion, using it as a tool to obtain our desires. And lastly, Bajoran religion is examined in the light of Starfleet's initial skepticism - a template for similar criticisms urged against Christianity.
