Christ and Celebrity Gods: The Church in Mass Culture

By Malcolm Boyd

Book Overview

""Christ And Celebrity Gods: The Church In Mass Culture"" written by Malcolm Boyd is a thought-provoking book that examines the relationship between Christianity and mass culture. The author argues that the church has become too focused on celebrity culture and has lost sight of its true purpose. Boyd explores the ways in which celebrities have become gods in our society, and how this has affected the church's message and mission. He also discusses the role of the media in shaping our perceptions of religion and spirituality. Through a series of essays and reflections, Boyd challenges readers to rethink their relationship with popular culture and to consider how they can better integrate their faith into their daily lives. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of Christianity and popular culture, and for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the role of religion in our society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
