The hit T.V. show, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" connected with young adults who had a heart for adventure and an abiding interest in spirituality. Although often praised for its well-written stories and quirky characters, the show also explored how ideas and practices of world religions alter our perspective on contemporary life. Undoubtedly, casual viewers often overlooked the latter themes. However, Jana Reiss was no casual viewer. A professor in religious studies, Reiss well equipped to interpret the spiritual insights that were woven into the stories. Moreover, as a skilled author, she is also adept at applying these insights to our personal lives. In What Would Buffy Do? Reiss focuses on three spheres of influence addressed by the series, personal spirituality, companions in the journey and saving the world, and explores how a deeper understanding of these themes can help change our perspective on contemporary life.
