Book Overview
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 civilizations itself. Surely Christians and other religious citizens have something to contribute to what is, after all, a discussion of morality. But too often their contributions have been ill-informed, unreflective and reactionary. In this groudbreaking 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.

Thoughtful and well-reasoned
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book was not what I was expecting. I was expecting a polemic against the entertainment industry. Instead, it is a thoughtful book that traces the history of the "Pop Culture Wars" from the beginning of the 20th century until the 1990s. The author covers issues such as the Hays Office and its impact on moviemaking in the 1930s and 1940s. He argues for intelligent entertainment and intelligent consumption of entertainment. I recommend it, although it is not always quick or easy reading.
