Description:
"You should read this book to see that we all have a little Homer in us
and that God is alive and well and living in Springfield."
-Youthworker Journal on The Gospel According to The Simpsons(tm)

A companion to the best-selling The Gospel According to The
Simpsons(tm): The Spiritual Life of the World's Most Animated Family,
this 10-session study, for youth and adults, embarks on an exploration
of the religious themes prevalent in the popular animated comedy series.
Each session correlates to a chapter in the book and suggests an episode
for viewing prior to the discussion.* Topics include prayer, morality,
God, pluralism, the institutional church, hell and the devil, and the
Bible.

Mark I. Pinsky is author of The Gospel According to The Simpsons(tm):
The Spiritual Life of the World's Most Animated Family and the
forthcoming The Gospel According to Disney: Cartoon Faith &
Values-available from Westminster John Knox Press.
