Popular culture is an often-overlooked part of the fundamental religious "quest" and the cultural understanding of "what religion is" in that like "high" art, the
popular arts and media not only explicitly portray religion and religious ideas, but also serve the "religious" purpose of conveying meaning in the people and values it represents. Articles
in the JRPC are not restricted to any single religious tradition or definition of religion, or to any single disciplinary approach. Both "theological" interpretations, and analyses which
explore the intersection between Media Studies/Film Studies/Cultural Studies and Religious Studies in all their diversity, are encouraged. Religion may be conceived in terms of the expression of core
beliefs and values, constructed in dialogue between the individual and culture, including popular culture, or purely as a cultural construction.
