Beschreibung

“From ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST to MOULIN ROUGE, from
Ghanaian video-movies to Japanese Manga, from Christian
symbolism in advertising to the mythic significance of
female messiah figures, from the relationship of the arts
and theology to the role of the audience in the meaningmaking
process, the book provides a feast for anyone
wanting to explore the interconnectivity of religion, media
and society.”
Robert Johnston,
Fuller Theological Seminary
