{"product_id":"9780197655795","title":"Making Christianity Manly Again : Mark Driscoll, Mars Hill Church, and American Evangelicalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eA look inside one of America's most politically consequential churches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMark Driscoll, the founding pastor of Seattle's Mars Hill Church, indelibly impacted American evangelicalism. Driscoll's brash, authoritarian, and profanity-laden leadership grew Mars Hill Church into one of the fastest growing, most innovative, and most influential churches in the country--not an easy task in one of America's most secular cities. Driscoll's gender theology put men at the forefront of American Christianity, rebranding Jesus from a \"gay hippie in a dress\" to a sword-carrying, \"robe-dipped-in-blood\" warrior. This type of rhetoric paved the way for evangelicals' embrace of hypermasculine Christianity, priming the pump for their unprecedented support of Donald Trump in the 2016 and 2020 Presidential elections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaking Christianity Manly Again places Driscoll's gender theology in its social and historical contexts and analyzes the contemporary social patterns that explain how a hypermasculine theology helped create a megachurch empire. By addressing the rhetoric of Driscoll's movement through his sermons, along with narratives from former Mars Hill Church members, sociologist Jennifer McKinney leads us to a better understanding of the dynamics of the evangelical impulse to reclaim and glorify men's power. These dynamics, as McKinney shows, have fueled a growing Christian nationalist movement, with enormous implications for religion and politics in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48667301937387,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":62.24,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780197655795-1.jpg?v=1781610261","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780197655795","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
