About this listen

When modern culture tries to push Jesus aside, He often reappears in disguise — even in the heroes of beloved sci-fi and superhero stories. Exploring characters from Star Wars and Star Trek to Spider-Man and Doctor Who, this book reveals the hidden Christian images and parallels that shape popular stories of salvation. With sharp analysis and a unique “Orthodoxy Score” for each hero, you’ll discover surprising links between blockbuster tales and timeless truths about Christ, humanity, and redemption.
