(Spoilers) Steelheart and religious metaphors

[Gonigkeit]

Its not hard to see biblical references in the Steelheart book. For example, David's name recounts the story of David and Goliath, where a young man has to fight a being much larger and stronger than himself. He succeeds with God's help. I believe that Steelheart and Prof. are two sides of the same coin. I believe they represent the good and the bad of God. Steelheart has immense control of the world around him. He can transform an entire city to steel just to show off. He commands not only respect but fear. He stays hidden, rarely appearing unless it's to smite someone from the sky. Prof., on the other hand, can be seen working miracles, like healing, protecting, and turning steel to dust. As if the similarities to a certain son of God weren't obvious already, he has a resurrection near the end of the book, dying and being "reborn" as an epic. What do you guys think of this theory? Any other religious symbols or allusions I missed?

I think you are definitely right. There are plenty of religious metaphors in other books of his, so why not Steelheart. I think your theory is spot on.
