We see it in a myriad of forms-in movies, such as Mel Gibson's \u003ci\u003e The Passion of the Christ, \u003c\/i\u003e on Internet shrines and kitschy Web \"altars,\" and in the recent advertising campaign that attacked fuel-guzzling SUVs by posing the question: What would Jesus drive? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e Religion, Media, and the Marketplace, \u003c\/i\u003e scholars in history, media studies, and sociology explore this intersection of the secular and the sacred. Topics include how religious leaders negotiate between the competing aims of the mainstream and the devout in the commercial marketplace, how politics and religious beliefs combine to shape public policy initiatives, how the religious \"other\" is represented in the media, and how consumer products help define the practice of different faiths. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a time when religious fundamentalism in the United States and throughout the world is inseparable from political aims, this interdisciplinary look at the mutual influences between religion and the media is essential reading for scholars from a wide variety of disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Schofield Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.05w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813540184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLynn Schofield Clark is an assistant professor and the director of the Estlow International Center for Journalism and New Media at the University of Denver's School of Communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40414635360371,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":71.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ba55ffe1-e3ca-4e9a-a7c2-f470425a5558.jpg?v=1662212854","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/religion-media-and-the-marketplace-9780813540184","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
