Packed with examples that add immeasurably to readers' knowledge of religious trivia, this entertaining romp is an insightful reflection upon one of the more curious intersections of popular culture and spirituality.

And what does all of this say about our insatiable need for entertainment?"--Jacket.PlayReligious aspectsGamesReligious aspectsDollsReligious aspectsPlayReligious aspectsGamesReligious aspectsDollsReligious aspectsReligionHILCCPhilosophy & ReligionHILCCReligion - GeneralHILCCPlayReligious aspects.GamesReligious aspects.DollsReligious aspects.PlayReligious aspectsGamesReligious aspectsDollsReligious aspectsReligionPhilosophy & ReligionReligion - General790.1/3Bado-Fralick Nikki1009402Norris Rebecca Sachs879130DLCDLCBTCTAIEBC#PYDXCPUKMCDXBOOK996247991303316Toying with God2330871UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
