"Biblical Porn is useful not only to scholars of congregations, but also to anyone who needs help understanding how shame, fear, and bullying, as well as hope, can co-exist and invest people into institutions that, to an outsider, look clearly harmful to them." -- Rebecca Barrett-Fox * Reading Religion * "This fascinating ethnographic study of Mars Hill, a 13,000-member megachurch led by Mark Driscoll, provides a thorough explanation of how toxic masculinity and militarism were turned into tools for growing an evangelical empire." * Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual * "Johnson's book reminds us that Driscoll was real, that Mars Hill did loom large over the Seattle skyline, and that Driscoll's liturgy was just as creepy and harmful as we remember it to be, if not more." -- Paul Constant * Seattle Review of Books * "With deep insight and an absence of judgment, Johnson interprets the driving forces behind Driscoll's rhetoric, and the toxic effect it had on the believers who followed him." -- Claire Foster * Foreword * "The saga of Mars Hill Church and its founder/pastor/charlatan Mark Driscoll . . . is treated to a thoughtful, scholarly dissection in this essential book by UW lecturer Jessica Johnson. It's almost impossible to discuss Driscoll's ignominious legacy without letting one's language be infected by ideological zeal (guilty). That's why Johnson's ethnographic approach, which focuses on the shrewd process by which Mars Hill recruited, flattered, and manipulated its herd, with special attention paid to issues of class, race, gender, and socialization." -- Sean Nelson * The Stranger * "The enthralling story of the rise and fall of Mark Driscoll, former pastor of the defunct evangelical megachurch Mars Hill in Seattle. . . . Johnson is a talented storyteller. . . ." * Publishers Weekly *
Reseña del editor
Between 1996 and 2014, Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill Church multiplied from its base in Seattle into fifteen facilities spread across five states with 13,000 attendees. When it closed, the church was beset by scandal, with former attendees testifying to spiritual abuse, emotional manipulation, and financial exploitation. In Biblical Porn Jessica Johnson examines how Mars Hill's congregants became entangled in processes of religious conviction. Johnson shows how they were affectively recruited into sexualized and militarized dynamics of power through the mobilization of what she calls "biblical porn"-the affective labor of communicating, promoting, and embodying Driscoll's teaching on biblical masculinity, femininity, and sexuality, which simultaneously worked as a marketing strategy, social imaginary, and biopolitical instrument. Johnson theorizes religious conviction as a social process through which Mars Hill's congregants circulated and amplified feelings of hope, joy, shame, and paranoia as affective value that the church capitalized on to grow at all costs.
