{"product_id":"christian-popular-culture-from-the-eleanor-hersey-nickel-9781725281202","title":"Christian Popular Culture from The Chronicles of Narnia to Duck Dynasty","description":"Christian popular culture has tremendous influence on many American churchgoers. When we have a choice between studying the Bible and reading novels, downloading movies, or watching television, we become less familiar with Numbers than with Narnia. This book examines popular Christian narratives with rigorous scholarly methods and assumes that they are just as complex, fascinating, and worthy of investigation as the latest secular Netflix series or dystopian novel. While most scholars focus on the religious aspects of Christian texts, this study takes a new approach by analyzing their social responsibility in portraying the complex dynamics of race, class, and gender in a profoundly unequal America. Close readings of six case studies--The Chronicles of Narnia, Francine Rivers's Redeeming Love, Jan Karon's Mitford novels, Left Behind, the films of the Sherwood Baptist Church, and Duck Dynasty--uncover both harmful stereotypes and Christians serving as leaders in social justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Hersey Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1725281201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781725281202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Eleanor Hersey Nickel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993098977535,"sku":"9781725281202","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf99219c-1cbd-42b3-9cda-aa761ac1b336.jpg?v=1683322517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-popular-culture-from-the-eleanor-hersey-nickel-9781725281202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
