Pop Culture Wars Paperback - 2006

by William D. Romanowski

The debates over entertainment are especially volatile because they include not only controversial subjects such as sex and violence, but religion as well. In this, his latest book, Romanowski brings something desperately needed to the discussion--an informed, systematic and challenging Christian perspective.


First line

During the Christmas season of the Bicentennial year, American moviegoers crowded theaters to see a film about a down-and-out fighter from Philadelphia named Rocky Balboa, the "Italian Stallion."

From the rear cover

Entertainment has long been a source of controversy in American life. On the one hand, American popular culture is enormously desired, captivating audiences around the world. On the other hand, more and more critics blame it for the breakdown of morals and even civilization itself. In this groundbreaking book, William Romanowski brings something desperately needed to the discussion: an informed, systematic and challenging Christian perspective. Comprehensive and historically revealing, Pop Culture Wars bids to accomplish nothing less than to reframe and render more constructive a crucial but angry cultural debate.
