Geeks for God
With all of the recent excitement about the new Star Wars’ movie, I guess it was only a matter of time when someone would produce a sci-fi geek’s version of the Bible. This is not, however, a translation of the Bible that is expressed in Star Wars languages (although I would like to have seen Yoda’s version of Psalm 23 or the Lord’s Prayer).
What makes this a geek’s version of the Bible is the cover and the inserted colorful photographs of outer space and planets. The space photos give a delightful edge to the usual additions of special verses, a list of parables, and a ‘where to find inspiration’ page when faced with strong feelings or problems.
I think young people may be attracted to this version, especially young Christians who are into sci-fi movies and genres. Hopefully, they will also take time to read the Bible and value the wisdom it contains. I just gave a copy to one of my co-workers’ teenage daughters. Her response: “That’s awesome!”
