Episode 50: Messianic Themes In Movies And Literature

On this episode, Craig, Deb and I look at movies and books that have messianic themes. These are movies and literature that are not blatantly christian, but show the usual tropes: the protagonist is born with special powers, is persecuted by authority figures, must battle an adversary that only he can destroy and sometimes must sacrifice his life for the sake of others. We look at Dune, Star Wars, Cool Hand Luke, the Matrix and many others. Did we miss any? Let us know.
