What is Sunday Morning Superheroes and Who is it for?
People of faith all over the world find great spiritual truths in the stories of superheroes like Superman, Batman, Spider-man, and the X-men. Prof. Hollis Thompson is one of those people, and that fascination has become an area of deep academic and personal significance.
In this podcast, Prof. Thompson will help listeners explore the intersections between superhero culture and Biblical Studies (which is also the topic of my upcoming book) with a characteristic mixture of academic rigor, fun, and deep empathy
for both the creators of these characters and the people to whom they mean so much. We’ll cover stories, characters, and topics from all over the superhero multiverse, and give an honest, no-holds-barred explanation of what they can teach us about God, life, and the true meaning of heroism.
In this media we’ll find things that are good, amazing, and cool alongside things that are hard, heavy, and sobering. But, though wrapped in capes and superpowers, they will always be things that are real.
