Comic superheroes embody the hopes of a world that is desperate for a savior. But those comic creations cannot save us from our greatest foes—sin and death.
Throughout the history of the Church there have been bad ideas, misconceptions, and heretical presentations of Jesus. Each one of these heresies fails to present Jesus as the Bible reveals him. In Superheroes Can’t Save You, Todd Miles demonstrates how these ancient heresies are embodied in contemporary comic superheroes.
Miles compares something everybody already knows (who the superheroes are) with what they need to know (who Jesus is), in a book that makes vitally important Christian truths understandable and applicable to a wide audience.
“When you deny the supernatural for philosophical and ideological reasons, and then reject any reference to the supernatural in the Bible on the basis that it ‘just can’t be correct,’ it should not be surprising that all you are left with in the end is the kind of Jesus that the Jesus Seminar wanted to find in the first place.” (Page 35)
