Sean McCloud is assistant professor of religion and modern culture at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
McCloud examines how popular and religious American magazines
("Time", "Newsweek", "Life", "Esquire", "Ebony", "Christianity
Today", and "National Review", among others) helped shape the
popular definitions of "mainstream" and "fringe" religious beliefs
based on inequalities of race and class.
Sean McCloud's groundbreaking work is a major contribution to the
study of religion and media. Arguing that the coverage of
non-mainstream religious groups helps maintain social boundaries,
McCloud ably demonstrates the media's crucial role in cultural
production.(Diane Winston, University of Southern California)
