The Influence of Evangelical Media on American Christianity
This chapter explores the significant role of evangelical media, Para Church entities, and Christian publishing in shaping beliefs and values within the evangelical community, particularly during the Trump era and post-World War II. It discusses the impact of media culture, Christian celebrities, consumerism, and the 'evangelical industrial complex' on the landscape of evangelicalism, as well as the challenges faced by pastors in a changing society. The chapter also delves into the contradictory nature of authority structures within evangelicalism and the evolving influence of traditional organizations on what is published and promoted.
