Summary

Fold space using the spice mélange and travel from “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” to the planet Krypton, from Trantor to Terminus, and back to the scorched skies of Earth.

Did you know there is a virgin birth at the core of Star Wars? A Jewish messiah of Dune? A holy family in Superman? A Jesus and Judas in The Matrix? And the Catholic Church is Asimov’s Foundation?

This audiobook covers a lot of territory. It spans galaxies and universes. Nevertheless, the great expanse of human imagination will forever be captivated by the events of the little town of Bethlehem.

There is a reason that all of mankind’s stories overlap, coincide, correlate, and copy. Like it or not, all mankind bears the same indelible stamp, the mark of Christ. Why should there be a singular story binding us all? Unless we are truly all bound as one human family. At the core of the Monomyth is not another myth, a neat coincidence, but a reality - the reality of Jesus Christ.

At the heart of the Monomyth is a man, a very real man. The God-Man. The source and summit of all hero stories and myths ever told, both before and after those short 33 years in First Century Israel.

Incredible knowledge and research.

The author has either an incredible depth of knowledge and/or has carried out extensive research. The correlation and application of the Bible and Christianity in Sci-Fi films is incredible. A joy to listen to that excites the mind. Fantastic.

Fascinating and intriguing

This audiobook is a fascinating insight into the creative minds behind Star Wars, Dune, Matrix, Superman, etc., and how they have been influenced by their connection to God. The signs of Christian and Catholic influence in these stories are surprising (if you haven't studied theology), but they make perfect sense, and the more you learn the more they become obvious. I was particularly interested in hearing about Star Wars and The Matrix, and wasn't disappointed. The connection there is palpably strong!
