A Matrix of Meanings: finding God in pop culture… von Craig Detweiler
I read this book before I even knew who Craig Detweiler is (he ended up being my department head when I went to university). This book is great but no comparison to being able to sit down and talk with him about media and communication and the use, abuse, and manipulation of visual arts and music in modern culture.
Getting started on this one. Not so much "pop" culture -- think Malcolm Gladstone -- as I thought it would be. Takes some thinking. Stay tuned. KH
The prophet Isaiah reminds us, "Do not be afraid. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams." Only grief permits newness
NCLA Review -Halos and Avatars is a study of the religious and moral aspects of video gaming. The editor, Craig Detweiler, directs the Center for Entertainment, Media and Culture at Pepperdine University, and has compiled a group of twelve essays by various authors on such topics as “The Play Is the Thing: Interactivity from Bible Fights to Passions of the Christ” and “Role Playing: Toward a Theology for Gamers.” The topic is a novel and legitimate one, and the essays are generally well written, but this is more an academic study than a readable treatment suitable for the average church library. Recommended for large library collections or where there might be serious interest in this very specific topic. Rating: 2 —KLF… (mehr)
