\"\"<\/a>The second<\/a> Pirates of the Caribbean<\/i> movie comes out next week \u2014 and FWIW, no, I have not seen it yet. The third<\/a> Pirates of the Caribbean<\/i> movie comes out next year \u2014 according to the IMDB, on May 25, 2007. But the fact that virtually no one has seen these movies yet evidently hasn\u2019t stopped someone from already<\/i> writing an entire book about the hidden Christian meanings lurking within this \u201cseries\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the blurb for Tim Wesemann\u2019s Swashbuckling Faith: Exploring for Treasure with Pirates of the Caribbean<\/a><\/i>:<\/p>\n

Pirates, Patches, and Parrots! What unexpected markers do you find along your faith journey, ones that lead you closer to God? In Swashbuckling Faith<\/i>, author and former pastor Tim Wesemann helps you find surprising doorways to God\u2019s truth in the scenes and dialogue of the Pirates of the Caribbean<\/i> movie series. Created merely to entertain, these movies find Captain Jack Sparrow and his cohorts unintentionally leaving behind traces of truth ready to be explored and expanded in light of the Bible. Wesemann springboards from these glimpses to explore scriptural lessons on faith, prayer, contentment, spiritual warfare, forgiveness, hope, and much more. When your biblical perception starts finding treasures of truth in popular culture and everyday occurrences, you\u2019ll set sail for the adventure of a lifetime!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can understand why people would put books like this out for Star Wars<\/a><\/i> and The Matrix<\/a><\/i> and even Superman<\/a><\/i>, but \u2026 Pirates of the Caribbean<\/i>? And why so early? Are they going to release a revised edition of the book after each sequel comes out?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
