The Gospel According to Science Fiction: From the Twilight Zone to the Final Frontier

Gabriel McKee earned his Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. He is the author of Pink Beams of Light From the God in the Gutter: The Science-Fictional Religion of Philip K. Dick, as well as articles on religion in popular culture for the Revealer and Nerve.

Science Fiction "is an invaluable tool in envisioning the future of our science, our society and our spirituality. SF tells us not only what the future may bring, but hat we want the future to bring." So writes Gabriel McKee in his "Gospel According to ..." volume on "Science Fiction."
McKee knows his stuff when it comes to the field he abbreviates as SF. His wide-ranging essays touch on themes as vast as the meaning of human existence and the possibility of an afterlife. Along the way, he tries to weave together Christianity, thousands of years of philosophy and examples from SF novelists as well as Hollywood movies.
It's a fairly focused book, so it will be great for groups whose members are intrigued by SF. But this one will fly over the heads of people who don't care for the genre.
There also are intriguing gaps that readers may want to debate. For instance, McKee ponders Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" but says nothing about the "Blade Runner" adaptation.
