When I first launched this blog, the world was entering lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic. My partner and I sued up Twelve Monkeys, the tv series streaming on Hulu at the time. Viewing sci-fi as a biblical scholar has me thinking about many religious themes like salvation, apocalyptic hope, science, humanism, love, death and rebirth, and lots more. I blogged about some of these topics, which launched this very blog.
It seemed fitting that my first podcast should summarize my thoughts on the series and blogging about religious themes in sci-fi. I was hoping you could take a listen and let me know what you think. I will definitely have more to say as I am currently working on a book about sci-fi and religion.
If you want to read more of my reflections about the 12 Monkeys Series, you could start with “Streaming the Apocalypse.” If you are interested in other sci-fi, take a look at Sci-Fi Topics.
