George R.R. Martin might have invented many different religions for HBO’s hit, Game of Thrones, but many of them are actually inspired by real-life religions. For example, the Faith of the Seven is loosely based on seven aspects of one god and is derived from the Christian Holy Trinity. However, much of his astoundingly popular series might actuall...
It goes without saying that death and resurrection are popular themes in The Bible and Game of Thrones. And while that might be an easy deduction to make, the focus on this theme seems especially important to both. Like Game of Thrones, the good book is scattered with miraculous stories of men and women who died and returned from the grave. In 1 Ki...
Speaking of resurrection, the main heroes of both books, Jesus and Jon Snow, are characters who are wrongfully murdered at the hands of their people but return from death after a number of days. Having a character that closely resembles Jesus Christ is a common literary allegory; however, Jon Snow seems a little more on the nose than most. You only...
Just like The Bible has many books dedicated to prophecy, visions and dreams, George R.R. Martin’s books also place a special focus on the power of prophecy and destiny. One only has to look to popular Bible characters such as Joseph, who had the ability to interpret dreams, Isaiah, who had the gift of seeing the future, and John, who had seen visi...
Believe it or not, the scriptures also speak of strange mythical creatures, including beasts, giants, dragons, unicorns, behemoths and even Pegasus. While some descriptions are symbolic and are simply meant to represent certain nations or ideas in prophetic visions, others are described as real. This certainly fits in with the wonderful and weird u...
Themes of good and evil are present in most stories. However, good and evil are depicted differently in both books. When you think about it, nobody is truly 100% good or 100% evil in Game of Thronesand The Bible, with the exception of Jon Snow (who struggles to tell lies) and Jesus. Everyone else strives to be either good or bad. There are no absol...
When you consider the two, both the Night King and Satan seem awfully similar. They are both figures that were created at or before the birth of humanity. They are both hell-bent on killing off the human race. They both rule an army of evil demons. They both possess supernatural abilities. They are both incredibly smart. They are both depicted with...
You think that Game of Thrones has scandalous stories? Well, believe it or not, The Bible’s stories might be even crazier. Lot’s daughters got their father drunk and had sex with him in order to have children. King David sent Bathsheba’s husband to the forefront of the war after he watched her bathing naked from his roof and slept with her. King So...
If you enjoy epic battles, both books have their fair share of war and disaster. While The Hound, The Mountain, Jaime Lannister, and Nedd Stark are all great war heroes, they don’t have anything on the epic Bible heroes. David was a shepherd boy who killed a lion with his bare hands before taking on a giant. He eventually went on to lead armies in ...
Just like Game of Thrones, The Bible is filled with many different thrones, both of this world and beyond. There are countless amounts of kings and queens fighting and manipulating to rule. And then there are also those who are not interested in ruling over others, those who are simply interested in leading humanity to salvation. Winter is coming! ...

- Heroic leaders: Game of Throne’s Jon Snow is a warrior of noble character, a brave defender of the weak, and a leader of uncertain lineage, raised by a king – who, it turns out, is not his father after all.
- Talented beasts: In Game of Thrones, Daenerys Targaryen nurtures three ancient dragon eggs, bringing them to life. The resulting dragon babies are unfailingly loyal and capable of obeying their human mom.
- Forbidden relationships: In Game of Thrones, the royal Cersei and Jaime Lannister are fraternal twins as well as star-crossed lovers who conceive children to populate the throne at King’s Landing.
