Popular Culture and Christian Imagination

Catalog description

This course is an interdisciplinary theological examination of the relationship between popular culture and the Christian life of faith. Like religious practice, the narratives, symbols, and practices of popular culture shape our identity and imagination. How should Christians navigate and engage secular culture? Students will analyze popular cultural texts and practices in conversation with Christian theology and create strategies for Christian formation that account for and leverage the formation occurring within popular culture for the sake of discipleship.
