      ABSTRACT

      Religion and popular culture is a fast-growing field that spans a variety of disciplines. This volume offers the first real survey of the field to date and provides a guide for the work of future scholars. It explores:

      • key issues of definition and of methodology
      • religious encounters with popular culture across media, material culture and space, ranging from videogames and social networks to cooking and kitsch, architecture and national monuments
      • representations of religious traditions in the media and popular culture, including important non-Western spheres such as Bollywood

      This Companion will serve as an enjoyable and informative resource for students and a stimulus to future scholarly work.
