Taking a look around

Wow, this quarter has flown by! In our final discussion, we addressed the topic of “fan culture”. When it comes to Star Trek and Star Wars, some fans even use the term “canon” when describing the original texts and ideas. This idea made me question the relevancy of fan culture for the Church. How can we use fan culture in becoming fans of the Biblical narrative, shaping our identities around the text? In addition to this, would it possible to develop “alternative texts” that help to explain Scripture and help us find some common ground for life today. Would such texts be helpful or even desirable?
