They are on par with popular entertainers and athletes in the African American community as cultural icons even as they are criticized by others for taking advantage of the devout in order to subsidize their lavish lifestyles.For these reasons questions abound. Do televangelists proclaim the message of the gospel or a message of greed? Do they represent the "authentic" voice of the black church or the Christian Right in blackface? Does the phenomenon reflect orthodox "Christianity" or ethnocentric "Americaninity" wrapped in religious language?Watch This! seeks to move beyond such polarizing debates by critically delving into the dominant messages and aesthetic styles of African American televangelists and evaluating their ethical implications. 410 0$aReligion, race, and ethnicity. 606 $aTelevision in religion$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01146925 606 $aEvangelistic work$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00917035 606 $aAfrican Americans$xReligion$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00799689 606 $aAfrican Americans$xReligion 606 $aEvangelistic work$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aEvangelistic work$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTelevision in religion$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y20th century 608 $aHistory 608 $aChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelevision in religion 615 0$aEvangelistic work 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xReligion 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xReligion 615 0$aEvangelistic work$xHistory 615 0$aEvangelistic work$xHistory 615 0$aTelevision in religion 676 $a269/.2608996073 700 $aWalton$b Jonathan L., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 701 $aWalton$b Jonathan L$01027674 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480408103321 996 $aWatch This$92443266 997 $aUNINA
