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. Have we humans blended fun with spirituality for good or for ill? And what does all of this say about our insatiable need for entertainment?"--Jacket. 606 $aPlay$xReligious aspects 606 $aGames$xReligious aspects 606 $aDolls$xReligious aspects 606 $aPlay$xReligious aspects 606 $aGames$xReligious aspects 606 $aDolls$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aReligion - General$2HILCC 615 0$aPlay$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aGames$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aDolls$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aPlay$xReligious aspects 615 0$aGames$xReligious aspects 615 0$aDolls$xReligious aspects 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aReligion - General 676 $a790.1/3 700 $aBado-Fralick$b Nikki$01009402 701 $aNorris$b Rebecca Sachs$0879130 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bBTCTA 801 2$bIEB 801 2$bC#P 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bUKM 801 2$bCDX 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247991303316 996 $aToying with God$92330871 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
