Abstract
The first chapter sets the context of the study and highlights scholars who have studied religion and media, language and media, language and religion, and audience responses to religion in the media; however, no single academic work combines all of them. The literature review section includes major works in the areas mentioned above and studies about representations of the three Abrahamic religions. these studies identify the gaps in literature that this book tries to fill. The chapter also includes a brief discussion of the innovative and methodological approaches that this study undertakes. Other short sections in this chapter include key terms used in the book, media characteristics and media discourse, the scope of this study, and a short summary of the chapters.
