The greatest heroes in popular sci-fi stories reveal powerful images of Christ and salvation, which is not surprising since people always need rescuing; somebody needs to save the day; and sometimes the whole world cries our for a savior - which is just what a hero is. James Papandrea explores more than a dozen sci-fi heroes, identifying which kind of "Christ figure" the hero is and what that says about the story's vision of Christ, humanity; and salvation. Included are astute Christian analyses of: Batman, Captain America, Doctor Who, The Fifth Element, I. Robot, Iron Man, LOST The Matrix, Planet of the Apes, Pleasantville, Spider-Man, Star Trek, Star Wars, Superman, The Terminator, The Time Machine, Tron, Wonder Woman, Here you'll read about: Free will and The Matrix, Wonder Woman: Orthodox Christ figure or gnostic savior?, The meaning of salvation in Star Wars, How Superman's life is a parallel of Moses', I, Robot: the religious reason why the robot is called "Sonny", Whether, in any Christian sense, Neo is the One, Captain America and Iron Man: one defends the innocent, the other brings justice to the guilty, Why the Force in Star Wars is no analogy to grace or the Holy Spirit, The crucifixion of Spider-Man, The Star Wars Christ figure: Obi-Wan? Luke? Or even, ultimately, Darth Vader?, Time travel as incarnation in The Terminator: a compelling analogy, Regeneration as resurrection in Doctor Who: Is it Christ-like?, The baptismal significance of the plane crash in LOST, The incarnation of the Christ figure in Planet of the Apes, Tron's parallels between Christianity and the Roman Empire, ...and much more!
