The theology of Battlestar Galactica

American Christianity in the 2004-2009 television series

by

"Over 87 episodes and two television movies, the series' narrative arc explores meanings of salvation, prophecy, exile, apocalypse, resurrection, and messianism, and clearly demonstrates the working of a divine will in a material world. It offers a systematic theology for each of Battlestar Galactica's invented religions and surveys echoes of American Christianity and theology in the groundbreaking series"--Provided by publisher.
