The Last Supper by Paul Elie

Art Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s

Paul Elie examines how artists and filmmakers in the 1980s brought religious themes into popular culture, turning music, film, and visual art into sites of spiritual debate. Through portraits of figures such as Leonard Cohen, Andy Warhol, Prince, Toni Morrison, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Sinéad O'Connor, Wim Wenders, and Martin Scorsese, the book shows how their work engaged faith, doubt, and public controversy and helped shape the postsecular moment.
