Surfing Spiritual Waves -- Epilogue -- Bibliographic Essay -- Bibliography -- Index -- About the Authors Joel Osteen, Paula White, T. D. Jakes, Rick Warren, and Brian McLaren pastor some the largest churches in the nation, lead vast spiritual networks, write best-selling books, and are among the most influential preachers in American Protestantism today. Spurred by the phenomenal appeal of these religious innovators, sociologist Shayne Lee and historian Phillip Luke Sinitiere investigate how they operate and how their style of religious expression fits into America’s cultural landscape. Drawing from the theory of religious economy, the authors offer new perspectives on evangelical leadership and key insights into why some religious movements thrive while others decline.Holy Mavericks provides a useful overview of contemporary evangelicalism while emphasizing the importance of "supply-side thinking" in understanding shifts in American religion. It reveals how the Christian world hosts a culture of celebrity very similar to the secular realm, particularly in terms of marketing, branding, and publicity. Holy Mavericks reaffirms that religion is always in conversation with the larger society in which it is embedded, and that it is imperative to understand how those religious suppliers who are able to change with the times will outlast those who are not.EvangelicalismUnited StatesHistoryProtestant churchesUnited StatesClergyHistoryChurch marketingUnited StatesHistoryPopular cultureReligious aspectsProtestant churchesHistoryPopular cultureUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesChurch historyElectronic books.EvangelicalismHistory.Protestant churchesClergyHistory.Church marketingHistory.Popular cultureReligious aspectsProtestant churchesHistory.Popular cultureHistory.277.3083Lee Shayne848444Sinitiere Phillip Luke1053988MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455943303321Holy mavericks2486280UNINA02495nam 2200589Ia 450 991045845450332120200520144314.01-281-33102-397866113310230-335-23501-8(CKB)1000000000401466(EBL)332690(OCoLC)298420053(SSID)ssj0000097582(PQKBManifestationID)11111807(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000097582(PQKBWorkID)10115041(PQKB)10680003(MiAaPQ)EBC332690(Au-PeEL)EBL332690(CaPaEBR)ebr10229872(CaONFJC)MIL133102(EXLCZ)99100000000040146620070721d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAdults learning[electronic resource] /Jenny Rogers5th ed.Maidenhead, England ;New York McGraw Hill/Open University Press20071 online resource (297 p.)Previous ed.: 2001.0-335-22535-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front cover; Half title; Title page; Copyright page; Contents page; Acknowledgements; Dedication; Introduction; Chapter 1 Adult learners: what you need to know; Chapter 2 The first session; Chapter 3 Giving feedback; Chapter 4 Understanding your group; Chapter 5 Facilitating; Chapter 6 Action learning; Chapter 7 Problem-based learning; Chapter 8 Coaching; Chapter 9 Role play and simulation; Chapter 10 Delivering information: lecturing, demonstrating and blended learning; Chapter 11 Design for learning; Chapter 12 Evaluating; Index; Back coverA guide on how to teach adults.
