Pop Culture Wars

"William Romanowski has done our embattled society a remarkable favor by providing an impressively informed and passionately argued case for the immediate cessation of the culture wars. The energy exerted in verbal warfare should be redirected into critical and creative involvement with popular entertainment. He is to be commended for deconstructing the false polarization of "high" and "low" culture and for reconstructing the linkage of art with the mission of God in the world."

"A well-written history of film's and television's attempts to define themselves in our culture. It clarifies the many disparate views with which organized religions have approached the media. The author presents an excellent argument for media literacy and voices a strong view that religious leaders should be embracing and developing the media as the "new literature" of our time."

JACK SHEA, Catholics in Media Associates



"Pop Culture Wars is historically solid, biblically insightful and exciting to read. Romanowski gives a sharp Christian vision for understanding popular art and entertainment today without oversimplifying their seductive complexity."

CALVIN SEERVELD, Institute for Christian Studies
