Phil blogged on the theology of Doctor Who concerning an early episode in the 2007 series of Doctor Who. Belatedly catching up with email newsletters that arrived when I was on holiday, I've found an article from Damaris CultureWatch by Tony Watkins, entitled Mastery or madness?, discussing the series finale. There are lots of resonances with the Christian faith - including the Master rejecting forgivesness and grace because he does not want to face up to its implications. Tony Watkins concludes his article by stating "this isn’t the first time that the Doctor has echoed Jesus Christ in some way, but he has never done so more clearly or more powerfully".
