POPCULTURED
Thinking Christianly about style, media and
entertainment
By Steve Turner
IVP. 254 pages. £10.99
ISBN 978 1 844 749 058

‘What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem?’ Tertullian mused in the third century. He was asking whether biblical faith has anything to do with secular learning.

In his new book, Popcultured, Steve Turner claims that the question is only slightly different in the 21st century: what has Jerusalem to do with Hollywood, or Silicon Valley, or Time Square? Or, to put it another way, how can we be faithful Christians while enjoying, or even creating, popular culture?
