When Religion Meets New Media

More about the book

Exploring the interaction between Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities and new media, the book delves into how these religious groups navigate their complex relationships with technology. Heidi Campbell introduces the "religious-social shaping of technology" framework, encouraging students to examine four critical areas: religious tradition, community values, technology negotiation, and communal discourse. This approach highlights the nuanced ways faith communities adapt to and innovate within the digital landscape, reflecting their unique histories and beliefs.
