"Religion," Mark C. Taylor maintains, "is most interesting where it is least obvious." From global financial networks to the casinos of Las Vegas, from images flickering on computer terminals to steel sculpture, material culture bears unexpected traces of the divine. In a world where the economies of faith are obscure, yet pervasive, Taylor shows that approaching religion directly is less instructive than thinking about it. Traveling from high culture to pop culture and back again, About Religion approaches cyberspace and Las Vegas through Hegel and Kant and reads Melville's The Confidence-Man through the film Wall Street. As astonishing juxtapositions and associations proliferate, formerly uncharted territories of virtual culture disclose theological vestiges, showing that faith in contemporary culture is as unavoidable as it is elusive. The most accessible presentation of Taylor's revolutionary ideas to date, About Religion gives us a dazzling and disturbing vision of life at the end of the old and beginning of the new millennium.

In consideration of the United Methodist faith, this project answers the research question, “Do inherent qualities of virtual environments offer additional faith communication dimensions that are different from other media types?” Following a historical journey from the church of the first century to The U.M.C. of the 21st-century, an extensive literature review studies the related multidisciplinary scholarship of K.C.T.E. This examination includes a socio-cultural analysis of how United Methodists and other Christians have communicated their faith through numerous technologies. The qualitative results of the primary research appear as a deep description of the latest developments in virtual-environment research at eight universities. Demonstrating how V.E.’s could communicate the faith of The U.M.C. would entail the virtual simulation of a worship service with particular focus on the proclamation of scripture. This project distinctively presents Jerome Berryman’s “Godly Play” of as a way to conceptualize how V.E.’s could communicate scripture for pedagogical and worshipful purposes. Regarding V.E.’s and worship, this project recommends the creation of the “Simulated United Methodist Model of A Worship SERvice in a Virtual Environment” (SUMMA SERVE). In order to introduce people, especially young adults, to The U.M.C. and its faith, a second recommendation involves the creation of the “Virtual Faith-Explorer.” Virtual environments could offer additional faith communication dimensions that differ from those of other media types. First, V.E.’s could impart the aesthetic elements of biblical accounts. V.E.’s made with high-production qualities could enclose the vision and hearing of a user in such a manner that he or she could uniquely sense the aesthetics of the biblical stories. Second, V.E.’s could uniquely show inclusion in the biblical narrative, that is, V.E.’s of biblical stories could show how Christians fit into the biblical narrative. Third, V.E.’s such as immersive V.R. and immersive A.R. could uniquely communicate the teachings that Christians are in the world but not of the world. And fourth, V.E.’s with haptic technologies could uniquely communicate the faith’s incarnational dimensions, namely touch and its importance.

The Family International (formerly the Children of God) emerged from the radical fringe of the Jesus People Movement in the late 1960s to establish a new religious movement with communities in ninety countries. Characterized from its early days by controversy due to its unconventional version of Christianity, countercultural practices, and high level of tension with society, the Family International created a communal society that endured for four decades. The movement's reinvention in 2010 as an online community offers insights into the dynamic nature of new religious movements, as they strategically adapt to evolving social contexts and emergent issues, and the negotiations of belief and identity this may entail. The Family International's transformation from a radical communal movement to a deradicalized virtual community highlights the novel challenges alternative religions may face in entering the mainstream and attaining legitimacy within the increasingly globalized context of online information dissemination in virtual spaces.

This time in our society is unlike any other.

Adam Thomas invites you to explore this question using his unique, personal, and often humorous insight. Thomas notes, "[The Internet] has added a new dimension to our lives; we are physical, emotional, spiritual, and now virtual people. But I believe that God continues to move through every facet of our existence, and that makes us new kinds of followers. We are digital disciples." "I gain renewed hope for the future by looking at a new generation of emerging Christian leaders like Adam Thomas."

Godwired offers an engaging exploration of religious practice in the digital age. It considers how virtual experiences, like stories, games and rituals, are forms of world-building or "cosmos construction" that serve as a means of making sense of our own world. Such creative and interactive activity is, arguably, patently religious. This book examines: the nature of sacred space in virtual contexts technology as a vehicle for sacred texts who we are when we go online what rituals have in common with games and how they work online what happens to community when people worship online how religious "worlds" and virtual "worlds" nurture similar desires. Rachel Wagner suggests that whilst our engagement with virtual reality can be viewed as a form of religious activity, today’s virtual religion marks a radical departure from traditional religious practice – it is ephemeral, transient, rapid, disposable, hyper-individualized, hybrid, and in an ongoing state of flux.
