Much speculation was raised in the 1990s, during the first decade
of internet research, about the extent to which online platforms
and digital culture might challenge traditional understandings of
authority, especially in religious contexts. Digital Creatives and
the Rethinking of Religious Authority explores the ways in which
religiously-inspired digital media experts and influencers online
challenge established religious leaders and those who seek to
maintain institutional structures in a world where online and
offline religious spaces are increasingly intertwined. In the
twenty-first century, the question of how digital culture may be
reshaping notions of whom or what constitutes authority is
incredibly important. Questions asked include: Who truly holds
religious power and influence in an age of digital media? Is it
recognized religious leaders and institutions? Or religious digital
innovators? Or digital media users? What sources, processes and/or
structures can and should be considered authoritative online, and
offline? Who or what is really in control of religious
technological innovation? This book reflects on how digital media
simultaneously challenges and empowers new and traditional forms of
religious authority. It is a gripping read for those with an
interest in communication, culture studies, media studies,
religion/religious studies, sociology of religion,
computer-mediated communication, and internet/digital culture
studies.
