Superman and the Bible

How the Idea of Superheroes Affects the Reading of Scripture

Beschreibung

Analyses how we make meaning while reading comics and the primary factors that influence our readings of the Bible. First, this is evident in the way biblical scholars treat Samson, and second, through readers claiming Superman is Jewish or Christian. Superman and the Bible shows we cannot read the Bible without reading Superman.
