For those interested in the relationship of games, gaming and religion, I’m happy to do a little self-promotion and announce two (German) books that have recently been released:
1) Steffen, Oliver (2017): Religion in Games. Eine Methode für die religionswissenschaftliche Digitalspielforschung. Reimer: Berlin 2017
(this book provides a methodological framework for the study of religious contents in games, combining religious studies and game studies methods)
