Product description
Binding: Paperback
Description: Religious encounters with mystery can be fascinating but also terrifying. So too when it comes to encounters with the monsters that haunt Jewish and Christian traditions. Religion has a lot to do with horror and horror has a lot to do with religion. Religion has its monsters and monsters have their religion. In this unusual and provocative book Timothy Beal explores how religion horror and the monstrous are deeply intertwined. This new edition has been thoughtfully updated reflecting on developments in the field over the past two decades and highlighting its contributions to emerging conversations. It also features a new chapter " Gods Monsters and Machines " which engages cultural fascinations and anxieties about technologies of artificial intelligence and machine learning as they relate to religion and the monstrous at the dawn of the Anthropocene. Religion and Its Monsters is essential reading for students and scholars of religion and popular culture as well as for any readers with an interest in horror theory or monster theory.
