Based on media research in Australia, and offering comparisons with the UK, the author demonstrates that media discussions overlook the diversity that exists within religions, particularly the country's main religion, Christianity, and presents religion according to specific interpretations shaped by race, class and gender, which in turn result in very limited understandings of religion itself. Drawing on understandings of the sacred as a non-negotiable value present in religious and secular form, \u003ci\u003eMedia Perceptions of Religious Changes in Australia \u003c\/i\u003ecalls for a broader sociological perspective on religion and will appeal to scholars of sociology and media studies with interests in religion and public life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enqi Weng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367192578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367192570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Enqi Weng","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135989166335,"sku":"9780367192570","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd6ec384-e4c7-4284-9b67-61b650ef0d69.jpg?v=1770159773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/media-perceptions-of-religious-changes-enqi-weng-9780367192570","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
