Read this book around religious people. It makes them think you're pious and hip! (I know from experience) (

A good honest look at how religion is portrayed on The Simpsons (up until their 2001 season). Interesting in its scope about how it portrays primarily Christian beliefs (and written by a Jewish scholar). Not too much substance on religion or to learn anything new about religion, but an interesting new way to take a look at the Simpsons. (

Mark Pinsky is a writer on faith, media, and popular culture; in this book he talks about how The Simpsons went from being attacked by many religious leaders for its lack of family values to being called one of the most theologically relevant shows on television.

A funny and interesting analysis of the intersection between religion and pop culture. (

A very fun, light summer read. Actually, it had more meat to it than I would have ever guessed. You will not look at the Simpsons the same way again. (
