Fernando’s post Fernando’s Desk » Why Joss Whedon Is a Better Theologian than Most Bloggers and Preachers linked through to Ryan Torma’s blog (ryan torma: Firefly & Faith) which in turn linked through to Cowgirl Jazz’s blog with lots of Firefly material and to Ryan’s own article “Seeking Serenity: Creating spaces for theological dialogue between churches and young adults through the Joss Whedon television series Firefly and film Serenity“.

Further chasing of links lead to:

Which in turn reminded me of:

And I’ve gone through the blog and now put everything Firefly and Serenity related into a new “Firefly” category with links to resources relating to Firefly, reviews, comics etc.

    Well said.

    Mostly I just watch the programmes because I enjoy them. However, it’d be rude to ignore the (metaphysical/theological) stuff that creators put in intentionally. :-)

    Thanks for mentioning my blog - if you have time to stop by again I’d welcome feedback on the two stories I’ve recently posted on it - especially the one about Shepherd Book http://serenity-firefly.blogspot.com/2009/02/fanfic-about-shepherd-book-and-emerging.html
