This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's Christian about Star Trek? Nothing. That's the way most people see it and that certainly seems to be the way the franchise is intended. There's no question that the Trek universe is based on a doggedly humanistic world view and is set in a future time when religion has essentially vanished from Earth. If that's the case, how can there even be a "gospel according to Star Trek"? In The Gospel According to Star Trek: The Original Crew, you'll discover how the continuing voyages of Kirk and company aboard the Enterprise--from the original series to the Abramsverse--tell us more about our human quest for God than you ever imagined. You'll learn how Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's own spiritual quest informed the franchise, what he and the series really have to say about God and religion, and the amazing image of Christ contained in Star Trek's most popular character. You'll also see how Star Trek can help us recover a deeper, more fully human gospel that embraces our humanity instead of denigrating it and echoes the call of both Spock and Christ: "Live long and prosper!" (John 10:10).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (FAQ). Star Trek FAQ tells the complete story of Star Trek , from the before the beginning (the books, films, and TV shows that inspired producer Gene Roddenberry to create Star Trek ) until after the end (when the show emerged as a cultural phenomenon in syndication), and including dramatic behind-the-scenes stories (e.g., Leonard Nimoy's struggle with alcoholism and actress Grace Lee Whitney's controversial firing) often omitted from "authorized" histories of the program. Along with in-depth looks at the pre- and post- Trek careers of the show's iconic leads, Star Trek FAQ includes profiles of guest stars and "redshirt" extras alike, as well as the many writers, technicians, and artisans whose efforts enabled Star Trek to take flight. The book also explores the show's unprecedented resurgence in the 1970s with chapters devoted to early Star Trek fiction, merchandising, and the short-lived animated series. Combining a wealth of fascinating information about every facet of the show's production with original analysis of Star Trek 's enduring appeal and cultural influence, Star Trek FAQ goes where no Star Trek book has gone before.

This book was released on 2022-03-04T22:59:00Z with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Star Trek has always aimed to be cultural literacy, and the show has quotations from Shakespeare throughout its episodes. The middle of the play, where the French princess and her attendant speak French, is a clear example of that. #2 The premise of French-English translation being easy to understand is a common one in science fiction, as it allows the audience to follow along. However, the assumption that different languages simply name the things of the world differently is not always true. #3 The picture of language that Wittgenstein sought to escape is the one that we saw embodied in Henry V, which he found in St. Augustine’s account in his Confessions. It states that language simply names objects, and that every word has a meaning that is correlated with the word. #4 For Wittgenstein, the meaning of a word is not its correspondence to a thing, but the way it is used in the world to make sense of it. He argues that language and life are inseparable, and that to understand language, we must understand life.

Download or read book Star Trek, History and Us written by A.J. Black and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1966, the Star Trek television franchise has used outer space and the thrilling adventures of the crews of the U.S.S. Enterprise to reflect our own world and culture. Kirk and Spock face civil rights issues and Vietnam war allegories while Picard, Data, and the next generation seek an ordered, post-Cold War stability in the Reagan era. The crews of Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise must come to terms with our real life of war, manifest destiny in the 21st century, and the shadow of 9/11. Now, as the modern era of the franchise attempts to portray a utopia amidst a world spinning out of control, Star Trek remains about more than just the future. It is about our present. It is about us. This book charts the history of Gene Roddenberry's creation across five decades alongside the cultural development of the United States and asks: are we heading for the utopian Federation future, or is it slipping ever further away from reality?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, the examination of myth has traditionally been the study of the "Primitive" or the "Other."

This collection of essays on Star Trek brings together perspectives from scholars in fields including film, anthropology, history, American studies and biblical scholarship. Together the essays examine the symbolism, religious implications, heroic and gender archetypes, and lasting effects of the Star Trek "mythscape."
