How is Bruce Wayne like Jesus? What can we learn about sin from the Joker and Bane? Is redemption available to people in our world as it was to Selina Kyle? The Gospel in Gotham analyzes the characters and themes of the popular Dark Knight films, distilling parables that illustrate the ultimate drama of redemption transpiring in our own universe. A twisted city. A self-sacrificing hero. A climb from the grave. These are stories that are familiar to Christians. Each chapter of The Gospel in Gotham contains meditations on Christian theology and applications for the believer. Old fans of the trilogy and the uninitiated alike will leave Gotham with a heart full of worship for our real-life Savior, Jesus Christ. Use as a devotional resource for discussing the films with others or as your personal guide to celebrating the gospel through the beloved lore of the Dark Knight. ------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction - Parables and Diamonds Part 1 - The World of the Dark Knight Chapter 1 - The Parable of the Great City …the rottenness of Gotham Chapter 2 - The Parable of the Family Business …the legacy of Wayne Enterprises Part 2 - The Drama of the Dark Knight Chapter 3 - The Parable of the Fearful Child …the incarnation of the Dark Knight Chapter 4 - The Parable of the Legendary Show …the symbol of the Bat Chapter 5 - The Parable of the Hockey Pads …the unique power of Bruce Wayne Chapter 6 - The Parable of the Impossible Climb …the death and resurrection of Batman Part 3 - The Enemies of the Dark Knight Chapter 7 - The Parable of the Purging Fire …the self-righteousness of Ra’s al Ghul Chapter 8 - The Parable of the Mad Dog …the lawlessness of the Joker Chapter 9 - The Parable of the Slow Knife …the reckoning of Bane Chapter 10 - The Parable of the White Knight …the fall of Harvey Dent Part 4 - The Friends of the Dark Knight Chapter 11 - The Parable of the Partnership …the faith of Jim Gordon Chapter 12 - The Parable of the Clean Slate …the redemption of Selina Kyle Chapter 13 - The Parable of the Hothead …the radicalization of John Blake
