Celebrity Worship - Hardback
Celebrity Worship provides an introduction to the fascinating study of celebrity culture and religion.

Celebrity worship is seen as a vibrant and interactive discourse of the sacred self in contemporary society.
Topics discussed include:
- Celebrity culture.
- Celebrity worship and project of the self as the new sacred.
- Social media and the democratisation of celebrity.
- Reactions to celebrity death.
- Celebrities as theologians of the self.
- Christian celebrity.
Using contemporary case studies, such as lifestyle television, the religious vision of Oprah Winfrey and the death of David Bowie, this book is a gripping read for those with an interest in celebrity culture, cultural studies, media studies, religion in the media and the role of religion in society.
