Beskrivning

Theological Discourses on Social Media will examine ten different social media platforms across three overarching parts. The task throughout is, first, to delineate the configuration and intent of a given form of social media and, second, to probe its implications for theology. On the whole, the volume will focus on the Judeo-Christian tradition, though dialogue with and insight from other religious traditions will also be featured. The upshot will be a unique theological engagement with the defining issue of our era—a work that will be as relevant as it will be engrossing. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, it will be a must-read for all students of theology, religion and media, and cultural studies.
