It\u2019s a good thing so many films, books and television shows are fixated on life after death, Baylor University scholar Greg Garrett said. Because we need them.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor many of us, if we don\u2019t tell these stories about the afterlife then there\u2019s a lot about this life that doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d\u009d says Garrett, a professor of English who teaches courses in fiction and screenwriting at Baylor.<\/p>\n
Garrett boasts a doctorate in English from Oklahoma State University, a master of divinity from the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas, numerous short stories and books \u201d\u201d including critically acclaimed novels \u201d\u201d and various scholarly articles.<\/p>\n
But Garrett has been enjoying the limelight lately because he has combined all those skills and interests with another set of specialties: Christian spirituality, homiletics theology, film and popular culture.<\/p>\n
