Gaming and the divine: a new systematic theology of video games

This book formulates a new theological approach to the study of religion in gaming.

The book first covers the fundamentals of cultural theology and video games.

It then moves on to set out a Christian systematic theology of gaming, focussing on creational theology, Christology, anthropology, evil, moral theology, and thanatology.

Each chapter introduces case studies from video games connected to the specific theme.

In contrast to many studies which focus on online multiplayer games, the examples considered are largely single player games with distinct narratives and 'end of game' moments.

The book concludes by synthesising these themes into a new theology of video games.
