While all of these are true of the adventure genre, they point to an even deeper desire: Our desire for immortality. For we were created to be immortal. But sin introduced death, the most unnatural thing in the world, and our souls sense the unnaturalness of death—this was not the way God created the world nor is it the way He desired His world to be. The adventure genre acknowledges this discrepancy between what is and what should be.
As a result, the adventure genre is important to
read because it reminds us that death has been swallowed up in Christ’s victory,
no longer having a sting; and we who are perishable and mortal will one day put
on the imperishable and immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:54)
