Publisher's Synopsis

After Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2005, Star Trek went on hiatus until the 2009 film Star Trek and its sequels. With the success of these films, Star Trek returned to the small screen with series like Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds. These films and series, in different ways, reflect cultural shifts in Western society. Theology and Star Trek gathers a group of scholars from various religious and theological disciplines to reflect upon the connection between theology and Star Trek anew. The essays in part one, "These are the Voyages," explore the overarching themes of Star Trek and the thought of its creator, Gene Roddenberry. Part two, "Strange New Worlds," discusses politics and technology. Part three, "To Explore and to Seek," focuses on issues related to practice and formation. Part four, "To Boldly Go," contemplates the future of Star Trek.
