Homebrewed Christianity

Why God Loves Science Fiction with Will Rose


Listen Later

Will Rose, mega nerd and Lutheran minister at Holy Trinity Lutheran in Chapel Hill stopped by the Homebrewed Studio to talk about theology, culture, and geekdom. Plus, the whole second half of the interview is an in-depth look at the latest Star Wars films (spoiler alert).

Will talks a little bit about a grant his church has to help model healthy conversations about religion and science, his first love in the geek world, the connections between being a minister and geek culture, why he started the "God Loves Geeks" bookclub and the questions driving it, officiating a cosplay wedding, and larping...

  • Why are we better at exegeting comic books and movies than scripture?
  • Why can't we approach scripture the same way we approach comics?

Plus, how he is helping people practice good conversations around graphic novels, comics, and movies, and carrying that over to scripture, the reason we are so drawn to stories, and the importance of shared narratives.
