THE GOSPEL RELOADED: EXPLORING SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH IN THE MATRIX

Book ID/图书代码： 10929004B01030

English Summary/英文概要： The millions of people who saw and loved The Matrix understood that it was much more than just an action adventure movie with state-of-the-art special effects. Audiences gravitated toward the film because it made a statement about life. Its plot and themes resonated with a postmodern worldview and caused people to think carefully about their spirituality.
In The Gospel Reloaded, authors Chris Seay and Greg Garrett explore the Matrix films, studying the characters and metaphors for their hidden meaning. They show how these movies--with their themes of rebirth and awakening, fate and free will--are guaranteed to generate thoughtful discussion about culture and spirituality.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “黑客帝国”(The Matrix)是一部后现代主义的美国电影，有上中下三集，内容复杂，充满隐喻，值得深思和严肃探讨。作者从电影中的一些细节入手，讨论了其中的宗教含义和折衷主义的哲学思想。他们认为，应当把电影的主题和个人的精神启示联系起来，思考一下与自己的生活有关的问题，如：什么是真实？什么是婚姻？等等。这样才更有收获。
