"Faith & Choice in the works of Joss Whedon" Book - Available for pre-order !

by K. Dale Koontz Joss Whedon once identified himself as an ’angry, hard-line atheist’ who is nevertheless ’fascinated by the concept of devotion.’ While organized religion seems to hold no satisfactory answers for Whedon, his dedication to exploring the meanings of faith and belief can be seen in many of the characters he has created for such works as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, and Fray. This work examines a variety of Whedon’s characters and discusses what can be learned from their struggles and discoveries regarding religion and belief."
