I’m still waiting for a Weberian analysis of the Protestant work ethic so clearly on display at every Chick-Fil-A.

Also, Vaca’s description of “ambient evangelicalism” as a marketing strategy is pure gold (and so true).

The longstanding feud, beginning in the 1930s, between William Eerdmans and his nephew, Pat Zondervan, had me on the edge of my seat. Is this peak geek?

On my first read, I missed that Du Mez is essentially challenging historiographically our conception of evangelicalism primarily rooted in theological categories. Instead, she demonstrates that the evangelicalism documented in this book–which is only one among many, she admits–is generated through market consumption and its boundaries are policed by patriarchal presuppositions.
