There's no avoiding popular culture--we've been enculturated into
it. What does it mean to be faithful Christians in a pop culture
world? How do we think Christianly about celebrity and leisure?
Some Christians try to abstain from "worldly" pursuits, while
others consume culture indiscriminately, assuming it has little
effect on them. But if Christ is Lord of all of life, then there
ought to be Christian ways to engage with and appreciate popular
culture. Steve Turner has spent his career chronicling and
interviewing people from the worlds of music, film, television,
fashion, art and literature. Now he provides an insider's guide to
a wide range of entertainment pursuits, with biblical frameworks
for understanding pop culture genres and artifacts. Turner explores
how movies use redemptive narratives and parables ways journalistic
headlines convey worldview assumptions differences between famous
people in the past and celebrities today what ideas are
communicated through clothing and fashion design how technology
changes our sense of what is real and much more God entrusts
culture to us and gives us the ability to critique it, enjoy it and
create it. This book will help you become a better cultural critic,
consumer and creator.
