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. 606 $aEvangelicalism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aProtestant churches$zUnited States$xClergy$xHistory 606 $aChurch marketing$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPopular culture$xReligious aspects$xProtestant churches$xHistory 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEvangelicalism$xHistory. 615 0$aProtestant churches$xClergy$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch marketing$xHistory. 615 0$aPopular culture$xReligious aspects$xProtestant churches$xHistory. 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory. 676 $a277.3083 700 $aLee$b Shayne$0848444 701 $aSinitiere$b Phillip Luke$01053988 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455943303321 996 $aHoly mavericks$92486280 997 $aUNINA
