Sommario/riassunto

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 this book, Todd Miles demonstrates how these ancient heresies are embodied in contemporary comic superheroes. Miles compares something everybody already knows (who the superheroes are) and what they need to know (who Jesus is), in a book that makes vitally important Christian truths understandable and applicable to a wide audience.--Publisher.
