Recenzii
Making Christianity Manly Again is a powerful addition to the literature on American evangelicalism, gender, and Christian nationalism in the Trump era. McKinney's meticulous analysis of Mark Driscoll's sermons and writings generates an illuminating picture of his misogynistic theology and view of the U.S. as a "pussified nation." Her in-depth interviews show how Mars Hill church members experienced and lived out that theology (successfully or not) in their daily lives. An impressively researched and highly informative book.
As US politics increasingly reveals intertwined relations of religion and masculinity, there is a great need for careful social analysis. In Making Christianity Manly Again, Jennifer McKinney—one of the most seasoned observers of this scene—provides a careful and detailed account of the high-profile rise and fall of an icon of the times. Its pages reveal deep insights into broad questions that should concern us all.
Jennifer McKinney's Making Christianity Manly Again is a devastating account of a cultural car wreck. The man driving the car, Mark Driscoll, is both the maestro and engineer of its demise, with enough talent to attract money and followers, but with an ego that consumes everything in its tracks. McKinney shows the self-destructive and catastrophic nature of how a religion of the poor and peacemaker became an engine for money and manhood. This must-read book startles with details and testimony to the tragedy of an American evangelical church and its whoring after power, treasure, and empire.
This is a solid study of a very influential church, resting on an interesting theoretical foundation.
