Recensioner i media

"Overall, this new Handbook on Religion and Communication has excellently interwoven what it richly offers with what it promised to communicate and achieve. References are extensive, and the minimal overlaps in topics are explicable considering the depth of its content and scope. Akin to religion and communication, the handbook is certainly a mediated treasure."—Religion and Social Communication, Vol. 21, No. 1 (2023), Journal of the Asia Research Center for Religion and Social Communication"... this book is a welcome addition to the study of religion and communication. Its chapters provide a useful entry point for those just beginning to explore this field of study, and, even for seasoned scholars, the book's discussion of multiple relevant theories, theological perspectives, and practical areas, provide a good primer for expanding their research into new areas."—Mass Communication and Society, Volume 26, Issue 4 (2023)"This handbook makes an important contribution by accounting for the diversities that exist in the encounter between religion and communications. This is its core strength."—Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture 12 (2023) 363-379"The editors have put together a brilliant collection of thought-provoking, well-written essays which appear to be the first comprehensive global collection of its kind."—Communication Research Trends, Volume 42(2023) No. 4"Overall, The Handbook on Religion and Communication provides an excellent entry point into a rich subfield that is accessible for scholars at all levels. The breadth and depth of its coverage, inclusion of diverse of religious groups and practices, and abundant references for further reading (and viewing) make this book a vital text in religion and communication scholarship."—Material Religion: The Journal of Objects, Art and Belief, 2024 Kaitlyn Lindgren-Hansen"The collection fits nicely under the wider umbrella of communication discourse — an umbrella allowing the alignment of religious studies with sociology, anthropology, psychology, and other disciplines."—Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, 1-3, 2024
