Fortress Press and Lexington have a new book series focused on theology and popular culture<\/a>. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll propose something to them, given the focus of the series. The hard part will be deciding\u00a0which<\/em> of the many ideas that spring to mind, all of which interest me greatly, ought to be the one that I focus on. Any thoughts?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the call for proposals of whole volumes, and for submissions to an initial volume that will apparently be starting off the series:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Theology and Pop Culture<\/em>\u00a0series<\/a>\u00a0from Lexington Books and Fortress Academic is interested in proposed volumes on various themes related to popular culture, i.e., music, television, movies, etc. Such themes can include a genre (ex: science fiction), a favorite director (ex: Stanley Kubrick), or an author (ex: James Baldwin).
