978-1-4331-5280-1 (ISBN)
Religion Across Television Genres: Community, Orange Is the New Black, The Walking Dead, and Supernatural connects communication theories to the religious content of TV programs across an array of platforms and content genres, specifically the NBC comedy Community, the critically acclaimed Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, AMC’s international megahit The Walking Dead, and the CW’s long-running fan favorite Supernatural. Its contemporary relevancy makes Religion Across Television Genres ideal for use as a library resource, scholarly reference, and textbook for both undergraduate and graduate courses in mass media, religious studies, and popular culture.
Joseph M. Valenzano III (PhD, Georgia State University) is Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Dayton. Erika Engstrom (PhD, University of Florida) is Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

“Joseph M. Valenzano III and Erika Engstrom offer us a deep dive into the way that religion is integral to the storytelling of four very different television worlds. Their rich narrative analysis of each media text offers us new insights into the role of religion in TV, a look at TV’s fresh approach to some of our culture’s deepest questions, and a reflection on the intersection between faith, values, politics, justice, and religious practices in our contemporary world. In the end, this book shows us that religion is far from dead in our culture but is indeed very much alive.”
—Meghan Henning, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Dayton
