Past the Sky's Rim: The Elder Scrolls and Theology

Good book

This book wasn't what I thought. I thought it was going to be a book about the theology of Skyrim in the sense that it would tell us about the different divinities of the Elder Scrolls (i.e. the 9 divine, the Oblivion realms, etc). I thought that would be interesting. Instead it is one of those books about how to understand theology (in this case Catholic Theology) using a common outlet (in this case Skyrim) for illustrations on concepts which might be too abstract. I might have been upset because I felt mislead..but I happen to enjoy reading about different theologies (I am not Catholic) so I will keep it.The only other problem is that the book came bent and torn and it was supposed to be new.

Good book, just isn't what you would think it is. Its not about ES religion more about real world and drawing lines between that and the games religion.

It's very interesting, I find this book not necessary to understand the elder scrolls games but is a very good complement for those who are designers of games or writer, because have very interesting information on it.

For a game series that has generated a billion dollars it is very limited in background books and supplements. Glad this was there.

Wow...should be titled differently. The current title is misleading. This book barely talks about the Elder Scrolls at all. It might make up, at best, 20% of this book and then it's just to convery his heavily biased Catholic perspect. I guess if your extremely Catholic and you feel guilty playing, this might help alleviate your guilt. But if you were looking for a book that actually discusses Elder Scrolls theology then I suggest you look elsewhere. This book is just to biased with Catholic theology and only mentions the E.S. theology to fulfill his religious perspective. While it seems there is a small crumb of open-mindedness within the pages, a speck of other mythology of our reality, and even mentions of other games, this book is completely mis titled. Again, E.S. fans looking for actual books that deal solely or at least mostly with that world, I wouldn't bother with this book. However, it does provide interesting view into a Catholics perspective on video game and other theology, if you can put up with the heavy bias and clear yet subtle abhorrence the author has for Atheists.

I really enjoyed this book.

Great buy!

Very cool! Make more! :)
