Steve Turner has proved himself one of the most accessible writers on the interaction of faith and culture. 'Popcultured' is a welcome and lively exploration of what is fast becoming a crucial field. --Jeremy Begbie, author of 'Resounding Truth: Christian Wisdom in the World of Music'
He has a hipster's eye and a parishioner's faith --'People' magazine
Understanding what drives popular culture is crucial for the church - whether we are consumers or creators. It will help us relate to the stories, the poetry, the idolatry of our times - and so to speak powerfully to our culture's hopes and fears.
The title playfully reflects what I think has happened to us. We may not be so bold as to claim to be cultured, but most of us are to some degree or other popcultured. Popular culture, or 'pop culture' as it's often referred to, suffuses our lives. The opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London was testament to how much we now identify ourselves by the popular culture we create and consume. In 1948 the opening ceremony London summer Olympics used only military bands. The most spectacular event was a twenty-one-gun salute and the release of seven thousand pigeons. In 2012, $42 million was spent on a three-hour ceremony held together by different forms of rock music and designed to impress the world.
In a popcultured age it made sense to have the evening designed by a movie director, Danny Boyle, and to showcase the work of actors, dancers, performance artists, sculptors, clowns, storytellers, comedians, musicians and DJs. There were references to the high culture of Shakespeare and Elgar, but the emphasis was on pop culture: James Bond and Harry Potter, the Beatles and the Sex Pistols, Chariots of Fire and the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners Lee.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What does our faith have to say about film? Music? Art? Fashion? Comedy? Or all the rest of popular culture? How can the Ancient of Days possibly keep up with modern culture? What does the Bible have to say about the Beatles? But God knows everything there is to know about them: the Beatles made Revolver, but God made the Beatles. He shows us that understanding what drives pop culture is crucial for the church. It will help us relate to the stories, the poetry, the idolatry of our times - and so to speak powerfully to our culture's hopes and fears. Even more, it can strengthen our faith - reminding us of forgotten truths, challenging our assumptions and forging connections with the world around us. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR006367972
