"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.
