One Power in the 'Verse: Finding God in Firefly and Serenity
“You don’t fix faith; it fixes you.”
From the first scene of the first episode of FIREFLY, where Malcolm Reynolds kisses a crucifix before going into battle, God has played a major role in Joss Whedon’s fascinating look at the future. In ONE POWER IN THE ’VERSE, God’s presence in FIREFLY and its sequel SERENITY is explored in detail, respect, and awe. With careful scholarship, author Paul Lytle shows that God is inexorably woven into the fabric of the ’verse . . . and why it’s better that way.

I came across this book accidentally while searching for a quote - I followed it to source and became absolutely riveted by the book preview I found.
It is a well reasoned exploration of the morality of both the Christian religion and the genre of the 'Verse.
Not remotely 'preachy' and an absolute pleasure to read.
I would recommend it to anyone who found themselves nodding at 'Philosophy and Terry Pratchett'.
