Television, Religion, and Supernatural: Hunting Monsters, Finding Gods

Erika Engstrom

4.9/5 (18615 ratings)

Description:This book examines the text of the CW network television series Supernatural, a program based in the horror genre that offers viewers myriad religious-based antagonists, through the portrayals of monsters which its two main characters "hunt" and destroy, as well as storylines based in the Bible. Even as the series' producers claim a non-religious perspective, we contend that story arcs and outcomes of episodes actually forward a hegemonic portrayal of Christianity that portrays a good-versus-evil motif regarding the superiority of Christianity. The depiction of its protagonist brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester of Lawrence, Kansas, forwards a pro-American perspective to a more generalized fight against evil in contemporary times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
