The Gospel reloaded:

exploring spirituality and faith in The matrix

Pinon Press, Jun 15, 2003 - Performing Arts - 173 pages

The world has changed. The Gospel Reloaded rushes headlong into The Matrix, exploring the trilogy's intricate details, religious undertones, and eclectic philosophies. These aren't movies you just "watch." They are postmodern epics, full of meaning and metaphor--deserving of serious inquiry and contemplation. Get inside the collective minds of the Wachowski brothers. See how even the minute details--from Neo's name to Thomas Anderson's room number--yield secrets to better understand the film. The movies call us to seek and find. Read how the themes of The Matrix call you to your own spiritual revelation. Ask of your own life: what's real and what's a mirage? Then you'll discover just how deep this rabbit hole really goes.

Review: The Gospel Reloaded

User Review - Danny Bennett - Goodreads

I had high hopes for this book because there is a lot in the matrix movies that relate to religion and philosophy. However, Garrett did not point out anything in the book that I hadn't already picked up on. Book was a huge let down. Read full review

Review: The Gospel Reloaded

User Review - Wes F - Goodreads

Some interesting points made from the "Matrix" triology with regards to faith and spiritual life and Christianity; quite a few symbols/images used in the "Matrix" come directly out of the Bible & Christianity. Read full review
