Most works on media developments and Christianity approach the
subject from the perspective of the implications of new media
technologies for traditional Christian practices or how churches
can use new media to further their goals. The common framework of
analysis is a 'given reality' of traditional institutional
Christianity and how it interacts with, affects and is affected by
media. Media are treated as a separate cultural reality. This book
presents, in an accessible form, the new directions that approach
the interaction of media and religion from a cultural perspective,
and illustrates these new directions by a number of international
and intercultural case studies and explorations. Looking at how
global media are constructing cultural forms, structures and
processes, the authors show how these have become the life out of
which individual and social meaning is created and practised.
Examining how individuals create religious meaning by interacting
with media of various kinds, crossing boundaries of traditional
religious cultures and contemporary media cultures, this book
reveals how Christian institutions are also defined in the process
of living culturally within their broader media context.
