Mutiny! Why We Love Pirates, And How They Can Save Us - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A mathematics teacher working in South East London, Kester Brewin has also become one of the leading thinkers on the philosophy of religion and technology. The power of his work lies in the synthesis of ideas from disparate fields, playing the history of piracy off a psychotherapeutic reading of Star Wars, or pushing Harry Potter to play alongside both Batman and Shakespeare's Prospero. Accessible, challenging and richly rewarding, his work has been hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as some of the most courageous and unflinching theological writing of recent years, charting his own path from the orthodox belief of his childhood to a radical death-of-God reading of Christian atheism. Brewin is a sought-after speaker, and has presented at festivals throughout mainland Europe, the UK and the US. In 2013 he presented at the prestigious TEDx Exeter event on his work exploring our enduring fascination with pirates. He has also written and presented for BBC Radio 4, and is a regular contrbutor on technology in the Huffington Post. He has also written for Adbusters Magazine and the national education press in the UK.
