Description
Religion in cyberspace has only recently begun to be examined in a
systematic way. One of the main aims of this book is to help those
studying religion in Information Communication Technologies to develop a
basic understanding of the field's ontology, by incorporating web
epistemology and theory. By focusing attention on the Web site as the
main object of study and by presenting the hidden socio-economic and
political aspects that govern the Web's structure and operation, it
offers a methodological apparatus for investigating cyberreligious
discourse.

Reviews
...A welcome update on the different approaches and methodologies for the study of e-religions and other forms of religions on the Internet. This book should open the way to more detailed and refined research on specific trends of religions, it has therefore definitely reached its goal in giving "a critical appraisal of religious discourse on the World Wide Web".
Florence Pasche Guignard, Université de Lausanne, in NUMEN, 55 (2008)
...Karaflogka’s book is a valuable contribution to the field in that
it addresses important issues touched upon by previous researchers, but not analysed further, and it presents tools for a more accurate analysis of religious
web sites.
