Telling Tales: Intimations of the Sacred in Popular Culture

Telling Tales is a distillation of twenty years' worth of forays reflecting on popular culture through the lens of faith and reason, literature and philosophy. Recurring and integrating motifs running through the volume include the character of God and the nature and value of people, winsomely explored with a light touch. Canvassing pop culture artifacts as diverse as Harry Potter and Firefly, these reflections challenge readers to look closer and attend to inchoate echoes of the sacred in the otherwise familiar.
