Faith of the Jedi by Dick Staub
Written by award-winning radio personality Dick Staub, this compelling book is filled with anecdotes from the Star Wars films that serve as a launching pad into rediscovering authentic Christianity. Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters also contains quotes from revered "Jedi Christians" such as Thomas Merton, Teresa of Avila, the Apostle Paul, G. K. Chesterton, and other theologians, mystics, writers, and philosophers. The author sheds new light on the struggles and challenges of living faithfully in postmodern life and offers a reintroduction to what C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien called the "one true myth," Christianity.
..Staub artfully lays out many similarities for Christians who want to claim Jedi wisdom as their own. (Publishers Weekly, February 28, 2005) ...details spiritual themes in Star Wars that echo Christian theological truths. (Publishers Weekly, February 14, 2005)
