This edited collection explores the connection between religion and James Bond.
George Tsakiridis and the contributors dissect artifacts from across the Bond universe-such as films, comic strips, and Ian Fleming's foundational novels-observing the religious and philosophical underpinnings of Bond's belief system. Though 007 does not typically prescribe to a religious system, he nonetheless encounters religion, is shaped by philosophical purpose, and becomes immersed in a religious world. Tsakiridis and the contributors consider both the religion and worldview of Bond as well as the symbols, presentations, and themes of religion woven into the texts themselves. Across thirteen chapters, they contend that by shining a light on religion in James Bond, we not only better understand this iconic character but the cultural and historical contexts that mold him.
