The centrality and importance of the intersection of Christianity and culture when it comes to English speaking countries and particularly American culture, history, and politics is beyond doubt. The Routledge Handbook of Christianity and Culture is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in this exciting subject. Comprising over thirty-five chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into five parts:
· Practicing Christianity
· Christianity and the word
· Christianity and politics
· Christianity and culture in a global context
· Christianity and the arts.
Within these sections central issues, debates and problems are examined, including: liturgy, material Christianity, education, missions, religion and science, hermeneutics, Bible translations, Christian wars, human rights, law, social action, the secular, ecumenicalism, inter-religious relations, visual arts, literature, music, theatre and film.
The Routledge Handbook of Christianity and Culture is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies and Christian studies. The Handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields, such as cultural studies, area studies, visual studies, literature and material religion.
