Description
This book explores the connection between theology and James Bond using themes such as sin/redemption, sexuality, political theology, and religious plurality. Though the volume focuses predominately on the Bond films, it also touches on Ian Fleming's novels, the history and development of Bond, and the video games and collectibles. The book focuses on themes through the individual films themselves and the actors' portrayals of Bond.
