Ep 69 - Biblical Porn (aka some stuff about Mark Driscoll) w Jessica Johnson
Episode 73
Published 7 years, 10 months ago
Description
We almost skipped from episode 68 to 70, but we thought our listeners deserved an extremely mature episode 69. Thankfully we found someone who can actually help us do that--Jessica Johnson, an anthropologist at the University of Washington who did an ethnographic study of Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill church in Seattle. Her findings and reflections are published in "Biblical Porn: Affect, Labor, and Mark Driscoll's Evangelical Empire" (Duke, 2018). It's probably the only book that ever cites Guattari and Driscoll's book "Real Marriage," so you know it's a good one.
