Description: This lively book focuses on how different Jewish Muslim and Christian communities engage with new media. Rather than simply reject or accept new media religious communities negotiate complex relationships with these technologies in light of their history and beliefs. Heidi Campbell suggests a method for studying these processes she calls the "religious - social shaping of technology" and students are asked to consider four key areas: religious tradition and history; contemporary community values and priorities; negotiation and innovating technology in light of the community; communal discourses applied to justify use. A wealth of examples such as the Christian e - vangelism movement Modern Islamic discourses about computers and the rise of the Jewish kosher cell phone demonstrate the dominant strategies which emerge for religious media users as well as the unique motivations that guide specific groups.
