And God said...Let there be knowledge!
and there will be knowledge on this blog, soon to come...
and God will see this knowledge and its goodness.
but for now, I will introduce myself, Arianna Benincasa, as an SMC305H1 disciple.
For many people on our planet, the world revolves around religion and as professor Harris claimed in our first lecture, Christianity is the largest and fastest growing one. However, in the 21st century, there is another aspect of culture that people's worlds revolve around, which is commonly known as popular culture.
Popular culture and religion (namely Christianity) go hand in hand in many ways. I aim to explore these ways on my blog.
As for my blog title and background image, I have chosen to incorporate one of the most famous bands in popular culture, The Beatles. As the four members are each positioned in their own characteristic church window, they represent the objective-religious role that members of popular culture play in society. I decided to incorporate one of their song titles "Across the Universe" in my blog title but instead called it the "Christian Universe" to further highlight the combined role that both Christianity and popular culture play in society.
I look forward to browsing all of your blogs :)
