Theologies, no matter their designations, are public measures -
they disclose as well as gauge the publics (near and far) on which
they stand, sit, lie, or fall. Because publics shift and mingle,
theologies require reimagining and relocating, and embracing fresh
insights and energies. The insights and energies embraced in this
work are in three clusters: spaces, bodies, technologies. The
spotlighted spaces are in Africa, Asia, Black America, Caribbean,
and Pasifika - beyond the eyes of mainline theologies; the
privileged bodies have survived, with scars from, empire and
missionary positionings; and the welcomed technologies include
Dalit, indigenous, art, poetry, cyborg, and the novel. This
collection is troubling in several ways: first, reimagining and
relocating are troubling acts upon their subject matter - here,
public theologies. On that note, what theology is not public?
Second, this work takes theologies in general, and not just the
theologies that carry the "public" designation, to be public
theologies. Third, this work takes theologies (in general) to be
inherently troubling. In other words, theologies that are not
troubling are not public enough.

Theology and Breaking Bad explores the brutal and seemingly
nihilistic moral landscape of the AMC neo-Western crime drama
Breaking Bad (2008-2013) with insights into the characters, their
struggles, and the moral consequences resulting from their actions.
Throughout the book, the contributors find telltale traces of
theological themes that have been woven into the storylines by the
writers and directors and bring them out for the reader in ten
essays that span topics from Greek mythology to the Hebrew Bible,
and extend into Eastern and Western Christendom. Readers will find
provocative reflections that will add to their appreciation of this
show, as well as its spinoff series, Better Call Saul (2015-2022).
This volume also advances academic inquiries in such fields as
popular culture and theology, hermeneutics, biblical studies,
Patristics, film studies, diasporic and colonial studies, and
explores such themes as antihero redemption, penance, salvation,
and forgiveness. This book will be of interest to both academics
and fans alike.
