Divine Programming takes the innovative approach of combining industry studies methods with textual analysis of a wide range of TV shows to create an insightful step forward in the relatively understudied area of religion on dramatic TV. Charlotte Howell's carefully analyzed interviews with producers and industry execs offer critical new insight into how Hollywood imagines religion, especially Christianity, on mainstream TV during a period of intense and rapid change for the industry. * Jorie Lagerway, Head of Film Studies, University College - Dublin *

This insightful study of how industry norms and cultural attitudes shape how a central part of American life is depicted, or obscured, on screen is a boon to anyone interested in television, American culture or the role of the industry in shaping how our world is seen on TV. * Kyra Hunting, University of Kentucky *
