Popular culture surrounds us, shaping our worldviews. We can ignore it, withdraw from it, condemn it, or celebrate it. Pop-ologetics helps the reader understand the grace and idolatry woven into popular culture from a biblical perspective, why Christian approaches often fail, and how to engage its worldview challenges.
Part I provides a foundation by exploring what popular culture and worldview are - and the relationship between them. It also lays out a brief biblical theology of popular culture. Part II critiques the ways Christians typically approach popular culture, and why those perspectives fall short of a balanced, biblical approach. Part III lays out a positive method (called "pop-ologetics") for engaging the messy mixture of grace and idolatry of popular culture. This method is then put into practice by critiquing five examples of popular culture and how to use this method practically with friends and family.

"Ted Turnau does a great service toward helping Christians engage their culture with both conviction and open-mindedness. He provides a thoughtful analysis of the issues and perspectives of Christian cultural interaction and offers excellent practical application for how to both appreciate pop culture and fairly critique it."
-Brian Godawa, Hollywood screenwriter, author of Hollywood Worldviews
"Wise and biblically-based guidance. Parents, young people, pastors, and just about any thoughtful person will profit enormously from this volume. There is nothing remotely like it in print today."
-Dr. William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
"Human beings made in God's image express their deepest fears, hopes, and yearnings in the art they produce, and today popular culture is central to this cultural dialogue. . . . In Pop-ologetics Turnau explores the meaning of popular culture, identifies insufficient ways of engaging it, provides clear instruction in being discerning, and helps believers see how the gospel speaks to the deepest questions of life. Accessible and thoughtful, this is a book that will help ordinary Christians move from understanding to gratitude to obedience to faithful witness."
-Denis D Haack, Director, Ransom Fellowship
