In \u003ci\u003eThe Faithful Citizen\u003c\/i\u003e, rhetorical critic Kristy Maddux argues that popular Christian media not only communicate avenues for civic engagement but do so in profoundly gendered terms. Her detailed interrogation of popular Christian movies, books, and television shows--the \u003ci\u003eLeft Behind\u003c\/i\u003e series, Mel Gibson's \u003ci\u003eThe Passion of the Christ, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAmazing Grace, 7th Heaven, and the blockbuster The Da Vinci Code--exposes five competing models of how Christians should behave in the civic sphere as their gendered selves. What emerges is a typology that insightfully reveals how these varying faith-based models of engagement uniquely shape public discourse and influence the larger picture of contemporary politics.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristy Maddux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160258253X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602582538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.07w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2011","brand":"Kristy Maddux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425338343679,"sku":"9781602582538","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a1cbad0-c6b4-4164-93c0-a93b30a07eac.jpg?v=1761538544","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-faithful-citizen-kristy-maddux-9781602582538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
