Ilaria W. Biano and the contributors consider a decade in which religion and spirituality became deeply entangled with popular culture, shaping both public imagination and private practice.

Across eighteen chapters, this collection discusses how the nineteen-nineties embedded spirituality into new genres, formats, and technologies, amplifying and diversifying the entanglement of religion and popular culture in the process. The essays herein span subjects including Five Percenter Rap, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Magic: The Gathering, revealing an arena where religion was performed, contested, and transformed. Biano, therefore, approaches the nineties not as a backdrop for religion, but as a decade in which popular culture was one of the principal sites where religious meaning was renegotiated.
