%0 Journal Article %T Anime, Manga and Christianity: A Comprehensive Analysis %A Adam Barkman %J Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies %D 2011 %I Seminar for the Interdisciplinary Research of Religions and Ideologies %X In this paper Barkman begins by arguing that anime and manga are important windows into the worldviews of many people and as such should be taken seriously by religious experts and philosophers interested in cultural criticism. With particular focus on how Christianity is represented in anime and manga, Barkman first identifies major themes in anime and manga having to do with Christianity (such as pluralism, gender and so on) and second critiques this from a traditional Christian perspective. %K Anime %K Manga %K Christianity %K Philosophy %K Japanese %K Pluralism %K Gender %K Protestant %K Catholic %K Angel %U http://jsri.ro/ojs/index.php/jsri/article/view/469
