In The Subversive Evangelical Peter Schuurman shows how a growing group of "reflexive evangelicals" use irony to critique their own tradition and distinguish themselves from the stereotype of right- wing evangelicalism. Entering the Meeting House--an Ontario-based Anabaptist megachurch--as a participant observer, Schuurman discovers that the marketing is clever and the venue (a rented movie theatre) is attractive to the more than five thousand weekly attendees. But the heart of the church is its charismatic leader, Bruxy Cavey, whose anti-religious teaching and ironic tattoos offer a fresh image for evangelicals. This charisma, Schuurman argues, is not just the power of one individual; it is a dramatic production in which Cavey, his staff, and attendees cooperate, cultivating an identity as an "irreligious" megachurch and providing followers with a more culturally acceptable way to practise their faith in a secular age. Going behind the scenes to small group meetings, church dance parties, and the homes of attendees to investigate what motivates these reflexive evangelicals, Schuurman reveals a playful and provocative counterculture that distances itself from prevailing stereotypes while still embracing a conservative Christian faith."-- |cProvided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 Evangelicalism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85045933|zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781 650 0 Big churches|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85013951|zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781 650 0 Irony|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068254 |xReligious aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006568|xChristianity. 650 0 Charisma (Personality trait)|xReligious aspects |xChristianity.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2020001352 650 7 Evangelicalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/917002 650 7 Big churches.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/831606 650 7 Irony.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/979386 650 7 Christianity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/859599 650 7 Charisma (Personality trait)|xReligious aspects |xChristianity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 2015573 650 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/860740 651 0 Canada|xChurch history|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85019285|y21st century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 653 Big churches 653 Canada 653 Charisma (Personality trait) 653 Christianity 653 Evangelicalism 653 Irony 653 Religious aspects 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1411629 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSchuurman, Peter.|tSubversive evangelical.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019|z0773557334 |z9780773557338|w(OCoLC)1065733583 830 0 Advancing studies in religion ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2017034540|v6. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2178894|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
