Page 8 - Religion in the Media Age Media, Religion & Culture

Series editors’ preface

Media, Religion, and Culture is a series of interdisciplinary volumes which
analyse the role of media in the history and contemporary practice of reli-
gious belief. Books in this series scrutinise the importance of a variety of
media in religious practice: from lithographs and film to television and the
internet. Studies from all over the world highlight the significance of the
cultural, social and religious setting of such media.
Rather than thinking of media purely as instruments for information
delivery, volumes in this series contribute in various ways to a new
paradigm of understanding media as an integral part of lived religion.
Employing a variety of methods authors investigate how practices of belief
take shape in the production, distribution, and reception of mediated
communication.
