Religion, Theology, and Stranger Things

Studies from the Upside Down on Evil, Ethics, Horror, and Hope
Analyzing the spirituality in a hit television series, this scholarly volume explores topics ranging from spiritualism to secularism, Mormonism to mythology, rock & roll to Dungeons & Dragons. The book demonstrates that popular culture can serve as an effective lens through which to reflect on the soul of humanity.
Religion, Theology and Stranger Things: Studies from the Upside Down on Evil, Ethics, Horror, and Hope brings interdisciplinary analysis to the teeming spiritual side of the hit television series. With chapters from social scientists, historians, theologians, and Biblical scholars, the volume addresses the many different theological, religious, and supernatural themes present in the fictional world of Hawkins, Indiana. From spiritualism to secularism, Mormon gender norms to monsters of abnormality, rock & roll to Dungeons & Dragons, an international list of scholars come together to argue that imaginative realms like the one created by the Duffer brothers can serve to showcase and to scrutinize the common impulses and needs of our culture and ourselves. To venture into the darkness of the Upside Down is to venture into the depths of human experience. This volume explores the shadows and suggests a few paths back into the light.
