Like the journeys of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, of Paul in the New Testament, and of Captain Kirk in Star Trek, Richard Burridge now invites readers to journey with him through the season of Lent, venturing from unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory back to home. Beginning with Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, fifty short readings guide readers through the Lenten season.Each day passages from the Bible are placed alongside stories drawn from a wide range of literature, TV, and film -- from Homer's Odyssey to 2001: A Space Odyssey, from Star Trek and Star Wars to Dune and The Matrix, mixing Narnia, Harry Potter, and Pilgrim's Progress -- all to illustrate the human journey from the ashes of sorrow to shouts of gladness, from slavery to freedom, and from being lost to homecoming. Faith Odyssey offers a new and exciting look at the Christian journey through Lent.
