The God Tube: Uncovering the Hidden Spiritual Message in Pop Culture

By James Lawler

Book Overview

Beginning with The Simpsons and ending with The Da Vinci Code, the entertaining sections in this book uncover profound philosophical and religious ideas in pop culture. Each work covered contains a challenge to both standard religious orthodoxy and secular science. In The Simpsons Movie, although Homer must be dragged off his couch to church, he experiences a spiritual epiphany with an Inuit shaman woman. In the film of The Da Vinci Code, Robert Langdon proposes that "the human is the divine." The author makes a striking case here for pop culture as a hotbed of alternative thinking.
