Synopsis

Comics And Mythology explores the surprising link between ancient myths and modern comic books, revealing how age-old stories continue to influence superhero narratives and fantasy worlds. It argues that comic books aren't just a modern invention, but are rooted in mythological storytelling. For example, Superman's origins echo stories of Moses and Icarus, while Wonder Woman draws inspiration from Amazon myths, demonstrating the enduring power of archetypes.

 
The book begins by introducing key mythological concepts from Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian traditions, then examines their influence on comic book characters, settings, and conflicts. It covers how Asgard and Themyscira are reimagined versions of mythological locations.

 
Ultimately, the book reveals how comic books act as a modern form of mythology, reflecting and shaping our values. By analyzing ancient texts, comic book panels, and character designs, Comics And Mythology provides a comprehensive look at the connections between these two seemingly different worlds. This approach offers readers a framework for understanding the enduring appeal of myth and its continued relevance in contemporary storytelling.

    What's your name? 
     
     
     
    Asian Americans know the pain of being called names that deny our humanity. We may toggle back and forth between different names as a survival strategy. But it's a challenge to discern what names reflect our true identities as Asian Americans and as Christians. In an era when Asians face ongoing discrimination and marginalization, it can be hard to live into God's calling for our lives. 
     
     
     
    Asian American Christians need to hear and own our diverse stories beyond the cultural expectations of the model minority or perpetual foreigner. A team from East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian backgrounds explores what it means to learn our names and be seen by God. They encourage us to know our history, telling diverse stories of the Asian diaspora in America who have been shaped and misshaped by migration, culture, and faith. As we live in the multiple tensions of being Asian American Christians, we can discover who we are and what God may have in store for us and our communities.
