In an ever-changing world, new situations arise demanding ethical
re-sponses from Christian thinkers. This is particularly true in
our modern context with hyper-changes in areas like popular
culture. Through a series of essays, Barkman explores the contours
of this phenomenon - from movies to comic books, from TV series to
novels - attentive to new ideas, or old ideas made new, requiring
Christian ethical reflection. Topics such as the ethics of sex,
deception, drugs, tattoos, slavery, incest, hypnosis, and gender,
to name but a few, are explored Christianly vis- -vis culture as
diverse as Game of Thrones, Sherlock Holmes, Gladiator, The Big
Bang Theory, Thor and many others. . . . ENDORSEMENT: - "Whether
discussing Winnie the Pooh or The Walking Dead, this book digs up
buried philosophical treasure. Those who don't normally think of
themselves as philosophically inclined will be surprised and
delighted as Barkman rescues philosophy from dry classroom
abstractions and reveals how it fills the glorious messiness of
everyday life. Both beginners and vet erans will find something to
chew on here, and, like a good movie, this book is sure to spark
conversations that go on long past the closing credits."- Dr. Kevin
Flatt, Assistant Professor of History, Redeemer University College
. . . ENDORSEMENT: - "Barkman has an insightful way of tackling
tough ethical questions."- Prof. Allen Mertes, Professor of Youth
Ministry, Prarie Bible College . . . ENDORSEMENT: - "Fresh...
Insightful... Stimulating. I highly Recommend it." - Dr. Rev. Brent
Powell, Senior Pastor, Central Baptist Church
