| Summary: | "Looking at the everyday interaction of religion and media in our cultural lives, Hoover's book is a fascinating assessment of the state of modern religion. Thoroughly revised throughout this second edition now looks at the digital age, "new media" and significant role of social media on religion today. While the sheer volume and variety of information travelling through global media changes modes of religious thought and commitment, the human desire for spirituality also invigorates popular culture itself, recreating commodities - film blockbusters, world sport, politics and popular music - as contexts for religious meanings.
