RELS 26942. THE BIBLE AND POPULAR CULTURE This course places biblical texts into dialogue with various expressions of contemporary popular culture (film, television, art, music, advertising, and the media) in an effort to understand the complex relationship between the two. The course takes up this dialogue against the wider background of the study of religion and popular culture and by exploring the nature of self and transcendence, morality and the spiritual quest as those are construed and configured within popular culture.
