The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis - Karen Swallow Prior

Descriere The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis - Karen Swallow Prior

\nContemporary American evangelicalism is suffering from an identity crisis--and a lot of bad press. \n \nIn this book, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior examines evangelical history, both good and bad. By analyzing the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism, she unpacks some of the movement's most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices to consider what is Christian rather than merely cultural. The result is a clearer path forward for evangelicals amid their current identity crisis--and insight for others who want a deeper understanding of what the term evangelical means today. \n \nBrought to life with color illustrations, images, and paintings, this book explores ideas including conversion, domesticity, empire, sentimentality, and more. In the end, it goes beyond evangelicalism to show us how we might be influenced by images, stories, and metaphors in ways we cannot always see.
