{"product_id":"9781441231703","title":"Everyday Apocalypse: The Sacred Revealed in Radiohead, The Simpsons, and Other Pop Culture Icons","description":"The term \"apocalypse\" usually evokes images of mass destruction-burning buildings and nuclear fallout, or even rapture and tribulation. Often, our attempts to interpret the imagery of the book of Revelation seem to carry us far away from our day-to-day existence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Dark challenges this narrow understanding in \u003ci\u003eEveryday Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e, calling his readers back to the root of the word, which is \"revelation.\" Through readings of Flannery O'Connor stories and savvy discussion of \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e themes, Dark calls us to imagine the apocalypse as a more watchful way of being in the world. He draws on the sometimes unlikely wisdom of popular culture-including \u003ci\u003eThe Simpsons\u003c\/i\u003e and films like \u003ci\u003eThe Truman Show-\u003c\/i\u003eto highlight how the imagination can expose our moral condition. Ultimately, Dark presents apocalypse as honest self-assessment and other-centeredness in the here and now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis engaging book holds enormous appeal for readers interested in the pursuit of everyday spirituality. It will delight lovers of literature, popular music, and movies, as well as anyone concerned with a Christian response to popular culture.","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140108894448,"sku":"9781441231703","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441231703_p0.jpg?v=1763792745","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441231703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
