This contributed two-volume work tackles a fascinating topic: how
and why God plays a central role in the modern world and profoundly
influences politics, art, culture, and our moral reflection-even
for nonbelievers. God-in the many ways that people around the globe
conceptualize Him, Her, or It-is one of the most powerful,
divisive, unifying, and creative elements of human culture. The two
volumes of God and Popular Culture: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the
Entertainment Industry's Most Influential Figure provide readers
with a balanced and accessible analysis of this fascinating topic
that allows anyone who appreciates any art, music, television,
film, and other forms of entertainment to have a new perspective on
a favorite song or movie. Written by a collective of both believers
and nonbelievers, the essays enable both nonreligious individuals
and those who are spiritually guided to consider how culture
approaches and has appropriated God to reveal truths about humanity
and society. The book discusses the intersections of God with film,
television, sports, politics, commerce, and popular culture,
thereby documenting how the ongoing messages and conversations
about God that occur among the general population also occur within
the context of the entertainment that we as members of society
consume-often without our recognition of the discussion. Supplies a
broad conception of "God" that provides readers with a fuller and
more accurate portrait of a phenomenon that evolved substantially
over time but also remains an enduring-and enduringly
influential-element of popular culture Explores not only how
individuals grapple with the question of God, but also how God
invariably and unintentionally enters people's thinking Supplies
direct examples of the key role that God plays in everyday life
that readers will find compelling from both a personal and cultural
perspective Comprises essays from sociologists, theologians,
cultural critics, and journalists that present a wide range of
perspectives and approaches to this universally relevant topic
