    "In its revised second edition, this book explores how religious issues of canonicity, scriptural authority, morality, belief and unbelief are worked out not in churches, seminaries or classrooms, but in popular culture. Topics include lived religion, digital technology, trends in belief and identification, film Noah, television series True Blood, Kanye West's music, video game Fallout and media events"-- Provided by publisher.
