The Oxford Handbook of Digital Religion will provide a comprehensive overview of religion as seen and performed through various media, platforms, and cultural spaces created by digital technology. The text will cover religious engagement with a wide range of digital media forms (including social media, websites, gaming environments, mobile phones, virtual and augmented realities, etc.) and highlight examples of technological engagement and negotiation within the major world religions (i.e. Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism), as well as significant subgroups. Given the richness and breadth of the coverage, this volume will serve as a key resource for scholars of communication, media, religion, theology, and internet studies.
