Religious encounters with mystery can be fascinating, but also
terrifying. So too when it comes to encounters with the monsters
that haunt Jewish and Christian traditions. Religion has a lot to
do with horror, and horror has a lot to do with religion. Religion
has its monsters, and monsters have their religion. In this unusual
and provocative book, Timothy Beal explores how religion, horror,
and the monstrous are deeply intertwined. This new edition has been
thoughtfully updated, reflecting on developments in the field over
the past two decades and highlighting its contributions to emerging
conversations. It also features a new chapter, "Gods, Monsters, and
Machines," which engages cultural fascinations and anxieties about
technologies of artificial intelligence and machine learning as
they relate to religion and the monstrous at the dawn of the
Anthropocene. Religion and Its Monsters is essential reading for
students and scholars of religion and popular culture, as well as
for any readers with an interest in horror theory or monster
theory.
