From Publishers Weekly
Calvin College professor Romanowski writes for the millions of ?Christians who drink beer? those who, in tension with evangelical mores, partake of the fruits of popular culture, from Titanic to Bruce Springsteen to ER. His scope is ambitious, including a theologically informed chapter on the nature of culture itself, to treatment of sex, violence and materialism, to a thoughtful exposition of the story structure of the typical Hollywood film. Though he wants to reach a broad audience, readers new to the subject may be put off by Romanowski’s sometimes ponderous and often didactic prose, and they will not be helped to explore the subject further by his reliance on numerous unnamed ?scholars? and ?theorists? who are quoted without accompanying footnotes or bibliography. As the phrase ?Christians who drink beer? illustrates, the book is also marred by its tendency to use the word ?Christian? to refer to a particular subset of North American Christianity. The focus on big-grossing films and acts sometimes limits Romanowski’s obviously fertile mind: a concluding appendix on the movie Titanic has something of the flavor of a college term paper. Still, this book will be an encouragement to evangelicals looking for an alternative to moralistic criticism of popular culture.

Book Description
Grounded in Christian principles, this accessible and engaging book offers an informed and fascinating approach to popular culture. William Romanowski provides affectionate yet astute analysis of familiar, well-loved movies and television characters from Pretty Woman to Homer Simpson. He speaks with expertise on films from Titanic to Casablanca and music from Mozart to Springsteen, bringing sources as diverse as Shakespeare and Allan Bloom into the discussion.

Practical, analytical approaches to content, meaning, and artistic style offer the tools to participate responsibly and imaginatively in popular cultural activities. A quick and enjoyable read, Eyes Wide Open is ideal for ordinary Christians ready to more faithfully engage pop culture-one of the most influential forces in contemporary society.
