Here is the blurb for the book:<\/p>\n

This volume explores themes at the intersection of the Bible and science fiction. In the genre of science fiction in film, books, comic books, or fan fiction, we find portrayals of possible futures, altered pasts, supernatural or beyond-human beings. Just as in\u00a0biblical literature, science fiction can contain metaphysical speculation. Departing from this intersection, the authors engage with biblical texts \u2018as\u2019 science fiction, asking different questions of their sources: can science fiction theory and practice yield new approaches to the discussion of biblical texts? The authors reflect on methodology and offer case studies that include, among others, superhuman biblical kings and uncanny divine intermediaries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
