Religion and Pop Culture

A Matrix of Meanings

Ross religion and pop culture and Rachel had a baby, Britney religion and pop culture and Justin broke up, religion and pop culture and Time asked if Bono could save the world. From the glittering tinsel of Hollywood to the advertising slogan you can't get out of your head, we are surrounded by popular culture. In contrast to some traditional Christian responses, which have been to shun aspects of popular culture, Craig Detweiler religion and pop culture and Barry Taylor offer an insightful treatise on its value in A MATRIX OF MEANINGS: FINDING GOD IN POP CULTURE. Rather than offering a theology for pop culture, as some recent commentators have, the authors create a constructive theology out of pop culture. Instead of passing judgment on popular culture the authors analyze its elements religion and pop culture and ask What are they doing? What do they represent? religion and pop culture and What do they say about the world in which we live? Rather than deciding whether Bono, Britney, religion and pop culture and the cast of Friends deserve our admiration, Detweiler religion and pop culture and Taylor ask what the phenomena of celebrity idolization means. They do not examine whether Nike's Just do it campaign is morally questionable; instead, they ask what its success says about our society. A MATRIX OF MEANINGS can be read in at least three ways: as a study of the marketplace driven by consumerism religion and pop culture and fueled by advertising, whose highest aspirations are attained in celebrity; as a study of isolated artistic forms-music, movies, television, fashion, sports, art-and what they may tell us about our world, ourselves, religion and pop culture and our God; religion and pop culture and as a broad survey of our culture that reveals trends that cross art forms. These cultural shifts, studied in the marketplace religion and pop culture and manifested across pop cultural forms, create a lived theology that reveals the very nature of Christ religion and pop culture and his kingdom.
