Believing that the only thing a real theologian needs is a cable modem, the Internet Theologian touches on Christianity's relationship with music, sports, best-selling novels, and holidays, among others. The book also includes a handy field guide to the various ways Americans interpret Jesus. 606 $aChristianity and culture 606 $aPopular culture$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aChristianity and culture. 615 0$aPopular culture$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a261.0973 700 $aBreen$b Tom$01554418 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781824103321 996 $aThe Messiah formerly known as Jesus$93815646 997 $aUNINA
