Telling Tales: Intimations of the Sacred in Popular Culture David Baggett

Telling Tales distills twenty years' worth of reflections on popular culture through the lens of faith and reason, literature and philosophy. Recurring and integrating motifs of the volume center on the character of God and the nature and value of people, winsomely explored with a light touch. Canvassing pop culture artifacts as diverse as Harry Potter and Firefly, these reflections challenge readers to look closer and attend to inchoate echoes of the sacred in the otherwise familiar and mundane.
