520 |a Scholars of religion have always worked closely with media of one kind or another, from sacred books and archaic languages to cassette-sermons and the Internet. Yet comparatively little attention has been paid to the ways we actually use these and other media in the pursuit of historical inquiry.

Its central contention is that more nuanced attention to problems of media will have serious implications for how we think about the study of religions, past and present.
