Review Quotes:
As one driven by guilt and a deep sense of moral responsibility, Spider-Man is a character well-primed for theological exploration. George Tsakiridis has assembled a fascinating collection of well-reasoned and engaging essays that probe the depths of this complex and multi-layered character. This book is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature on the theological value of Spider-Man.
