This interdisciplinary study of how 9/11 and the 'war on terror' were represented during the Bush era, shows how culture often functioned as a vital resource, for citizens attempting to make sense of momentous historical events that frequently seemed beyond their influence or control.Illustrated throughout, the book discusses representation of 9/11 and the war on terror in Hollywood film, the 9/11 novel, mass media, visual art and photography, political discourse, and revisionist historical accounts of American 'empire,' between the September 11 attacks and the Congressional midterm elections in 2006. As well as prompting an international security crisis, and a crisis in international governance and law, David Holloway suggests the culture of the time also points to a 'crisis' unfolding in the institutions and processes of republican democracy in the United States. His book offers a cultural and ideological history of the period.

"The Puritans agreed that Jesus Christ is Lord of the whole of life including the things of this age. So they were true secularists, being openly theistic secularists."In this lecture, David Holloway argues that we have a public theology deficit - the world has changed and presents new challenges that Christians have failed to think through. At the time of the Reformation and during the Puritan era, Christians had a deep concern for the total welfare of their fellow men. But this is something that seems to have been lost now.This study describes the current situation for the church in our culture and begins to suggest ways in which we might work to re-establish the Christian faith.David Holloway is Vicar of Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne.
