We're talking about 2 of Tom Taylor's series in modern DC comics, "Nightwing" and "Son of Kal-El"! Hosts Joshua Noel and Joe Dea discuss the story beats, the characters, and their relationship to one another! How can Christians read a comicbook about a gay superhero? Can a 'haven', like what Nightwing is building, truly exist on this side of heaven? How far can money take us to helping our societal issues? Is Nightwing a sidekick or the new Batman? Why does Clark Kent (aka Kal-El) trust Dick Grayson to watch over Jon Kent? What significance does Superman's boyfriend, Jay Nakamura, play in the over-arching story? What does it look like for a normal human like Dick to help mentor an alien with godlike abilities like Jon Kent? We discuss all this and way more! Let us know what you think of Tom Taylor's run on these characters on our website: systematicgeekology.org

*When discussing human sexuality, Joshua and Joe both represent a more traditional, conservative Christian sexual ethic. After mentioning there is a diversity of views on this topic, Joshua mentioned a few books to help people acquaint themselves with these diverse views from within Christendom and he wanted to share the links to these books here (noting that he gave the wrong name for DeYoung's work in the episode):

"God and the Gay Christian", by Matthew Vines

"Single, Gay Christian", by Gregory Cole

"What Does the Bible Really Teach About Homosexuality?", by Kevin DeYoung
