The Theology of Calvin . . . and Hobbes! (Introduction)

Years ago I contacted the publisher of Calvin and Hobbes with a great idea. As a theologian, I suggested putting together a book of Calvin & Hobbes cartoons illustrating theological ideas. They sent me a form letter giving me permission to use two or three cartoons — at a cost! They obviously didn’t understand what I was wanting to do!

So, this new series of posts will feature a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon — and I will share a theological or biblical point or two.

Theology puts things in perspective! And perspective is what we need in our confused, self-absorbed, transient world!
