Spider-Man and Faith: Essays on Christian Truth in the Spider Verse

"With great power, comes great responsibility." - Uncle Ben Parker God can work through the most unlikely of instruments. Such is the case of Spider-Man, one of the most popular and well-loved super heroes of all time. What’s surprising is how Spider-Man is continually portrayed as a virtuous super hero, constantly desiring to do what is right and just and always fighting for the "small guy." Included in this book are a variety of essays by several authors who see profound Christian symbolism in the Spider-Verse. While the original creators of Spider-Man may have never intended to preach the Gospel with this character, many spiritual lessons can be learned from the spandex-wearing, web-slinging, teenage superhero.
