Theology and Game of Thrones

Theology and Game of Thrones explores themes of religion, institutional norms, and power, Christian ecclesiology, Augustinian thought, religious pluralism and representation, and theology’s relationship with sexual violence and death in the HBO television series and the original A Song of Ice and Fire novels.

This book explores many of the theological and religious themes inherent in the Game of Thrones HBO television series and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Written for academics yet accessible for the layperson, the chapters explore themes of power, religion, and sacred institutions in Westeros; Christian ecclesiology in the Night’s Watch and the religion of the Iron Islands; Augustinian notions of evil in the Night King and anthropology in the Seven; Orientalism, Hinduism, and the many worldviews in the World of Ice and Fire, and the series more controversial and disturbing themes of rape and death. Theology and Game of Thrones will appeal to theology and religious studies scholars and fans alike as it explores these elements in Martin’s complex fantasy epic.
