The Gospel According to Star Trek: The Original Crew

Whats Christian about Star Trek? Nothing. Thats the way most people see it and that certainly seems to be the way the franchise is intended. Theres no question that the Trek universe is based on a doggedly humanistic worldview and is set in a future time when religion has essentially vanished from Earth. If thats the case how can there even be a Gospel According to Star Trek? In The Gospel According to Star Trek: The Original Crew youll discover how the continuing voyages of Kirk and company aboard the Enterprise from the Original Series to Star Trek Beyond tell us more about our human quest for God than you ever imagined. Youll learn how Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberrys own spiritual quest informed the franchise what he and the series really have to say about God and religion and the amazing image of Christ contained in Star Treks most popular character. Youll also see how Star Trek can help us recover a deeper more fully human gospel that embraces our humanity instead of denigrating it and echoes the call of both Spock and Christ: Live long and prosper! (John 10:10).--taken from back cover of book.
