Böcker av Elisabeth Arweck

This book addresses the relationship between religion and knowledge from a sociological perspective, taking both religion and knowledge as phenomena located within ever changing social contexts. Including critical engagement with live debates about intelligent design and the 'new atheism'.

The first compilation that brings together publications on New Religious Movements (NRMs) from across Western Europe, this useful work includes titles written in most European languages.

Combining theoretical frameworks for the analysis of religion, media and popular culture, with case studies of texts, practices, communities and audiences, the authors examine topics such as media rituals, marketing strategies, investigations of audience testimony, and the influence of religion on music, reality television, and the internet.
