Frank Bosman has long been recognized as one of the leading scholars at the intersection of video games and the Bible. His new volume is an important work, showing readers how exegesis can happen in surprising places. If we’re not paying attention, it’s easy to miss the biblical interpretation that’s happening all around us – in all its messy, problematic, and fascinating ways. Bosman doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable spaces of popular culture’s interpretation of the Bible, but leans into them as a way we can learn about the surprising turns of religious tradition.
