Infos

What can vampires teach us about God? How can they reshape the way we think about religion, and our relationship with the divine? Through a thorough analysis of the relationship between theology and vampires, Theology and Vampires provides a glimpse into the versatility of the vampire as a tool for theological enquiry. Contributions to the volume assess vampires and their role in articulating theological thought, bringing together some of the classical vampire tales of the 19th century, with contemporary iterations of the figure. Considering how vampires are used to ask theological questions across media, from literature through to video games, this volume paints a complex and comprehensive picture of the often overlooked manner in which vampires not only reflect but also actively shape theological modes of enquiry.
