A More Depressing List
It's the end of the year and everyone's making lists. We gave you the big religion stories the other day, now on a gloomier note, we have Paul Raushenbush from Progressive Revival chronicling the worst.
Walmart and french fries are not the only things to supersize in the last decade. Churches have gone mega, Christian businesses are booming and crashing, you can track the number of souls you have saved on your iPhone, and celebrity pastors regularly hold court on the New York Times bestseller list. Sacred or secular, do these labels have any postmodern significance? Is there a genuine cultural distinction or is it a case branding with different logos?
