VIA: Science Fiction and Theology

  • Dates: 03 – 03 Mar, 2025

Dr. Steve Schweitzer from Bethany Theological Seminary discusses science fiction and theology.

Science Fiction is extremely popular in our wider culture. This genre is filled with theological themes: Who is God? What does it mean to be human? What is the nature of evil and how is it overcome? Is war or violence necessary? Schweitzer will explore examples from widely popular SciFi series—Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who—that allow connections between theology and culture.
