The authors integrate insights gleaned from the oft-siloed approaches of theology and religious studies to analyze works of literature, film, and television in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. These works of speculative fiction prompt emotionally charged experiences that reveal the paradox at the heart of being human.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Trimble Alliaume\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Theology at Lewis University. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaryellen Davis Collett \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Theology at Lewis University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 27, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379413696761,"sku":"9781666934854","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/6XVScFH1xR9781666934854.webp?v=1770053516","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/blurring-the-boundaries-of-religion-and-popular-culture-implicit-theology-secular-spirituality-and-speculative-fiction-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
