Hollywood Faith is written by Gerardo Marti and published by Rutgers University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0813543495 (ISBN 10) and 9780813543499 (ISBN 13).

The author shows how a multiracial evangelical congregation of 2,000 people accommodates itself to the entertainment industry and draws in many striving to succeed in this harsh and irreverent business. Hollywood's Oasis Christian Center strategically sanctifies ambition and negotiates social change by promoting a new religious identity as "champion of life"--An identity that provides people who face difficult career choices and failed opportunities a sense of empowerment and endurance. This book explores the modern evangelical movement and shows how religion adapts to social change.
