Synopsis

Ozzy Osbourne, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the Christian faith may not seem to have much in common. But look again. In Pop Goes Religion, popular American journalist Terry Mattingly opens the door between the two worlds of entertainment and religion.
The lines between popular culture and religious culture are blurring, and the two sides aren't as different as you think. Mattingly chronicles this shift in a collection of snapshots from the front lines of the pop-culture wars and delivers eye-opening commentaries.
