This book addresses approaches to the study of dystopia from the academic fields of theology and religious studies. Following a co-written chapter where Scott Donahue-Martens and Brandon Simonson argue that dystopia can be understood as demythologized apocalyptic, ten unique contributions each engage a work of popular culture, such as a book, movie, or television show. Topics across chapters range from the critical function of dystopia, social location and identity, violence, apocalypse and the end of everything, sacrifice, catharsis, and dystopian existentialism. This volume responds to the need for theological and religious reflection on dystopia in a world increasingly threatened by climate change, pandemics, and global war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Donahue-Martens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978713290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978713291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Scott Donahue-Martens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078274937087,"sku":"9781978713291","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_525fa5b9-5995-4096-be32-2ae065a399e8.jpg?v=1685474556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theology-religion-and-dystopia-scott-donahue-martens-9781978713291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
