Copyrighting God provides the first detailed account of how
American religious organizations used copyright in sacred texts not
simply for economic gain but also for social organization and
control. Including chapters on the angelic authorship of The
Urantia Book, Mary Baker Eddy's use of copyright to construct the
Christian Science Church, interdenominational disputes in the
Worldwide Church of God, and the Church of Scientology's landmark
lawsuits against Internet service providers, this book examines how
religious copyright owners mobilized the law in order to organize
communities, protect sacred goods, produce new forms of spiritual
identity, and even enchant the material world. In doing so, this
book demonstrates that these organizations all engaged in complex
efforts to harmonize legal arguments and theological rationales in
order to care for and protect religious media, thereby coming to a
nuanced understanding of secular law as a resource for, and
obstacle to, their unique spiritual objectives.
