Theological Discourses on Social Media

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.
