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.
Narratives of journeys, voyages, and pilgrimages often guide their
readers to broad questions about humanism and humanity from a
holistic perspective. The essays in this volume approach the theme
of travel in narratives of both real and imagined journeys from a
variety of different disciplines-history, philosophy, politics,
geopolitics, literary studies, regionalism-and examine their
religious, psychological, psychoanalytical, philosophical,
educational, and historical implications. The essays share an
understanding of narratives of journeys across cultural borders as
powerful educational tools that can model and contribute to
meaningful dialogue with other states, cultures, and civilizations.
