This open access book offers an overview of the relations between
comics and religion from the perspective of cultural sociology. How
do comics function in religions and how does religion appear in
comics? And how do graphic narratives inform us about contemporary
society and the changing role of religion? Contributing scholars
use international examples to explore the diversity of religions,
spirituality, and dispersed notions of the sacred, including
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Indian, and Japanese
religions. In addition, the rituals, ethics, and worldviews that
surface in the comics milieu are discussed. With the growing
popularity and influence of comics and graphic novels in
contemporary culture, this book provides a valuable addition to the
discussion of the medium, focusing on religious and sociological
aspects. A rich resource for both students and scholars in popular
culture, media studies, and religion. The ebook editions of this
book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license on
www.bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by The
Faculty for Humanities and Education and the University Library at
the University of Agder, Norway.
