While Marilyn and Lambert did not initially correspond directly, they have shared several correspondents in common. Even as early as 1999 it was clear that they were members of the same online network of Christians, a virtual church built around those who embraced a common ideology. Digital Jesus documents how such like-minded individuals created a large web of religious communication on the Internet, in essence developing a new type of new religious movement?one without a central leader or institution. Based on over a decade of interaction with figures both large and small within this community, Robert Glenn Howard offers the first sustained ethnographic account of the movement as well as a realistic and pragmatic view of how new communication technologies can both empower and disempower the individuals who use them. By tracing the group?s origins back to the email lists and ?Usenet? groups of the 1980s up to the online forums of today, Digital Jesus also serves as a succinct history of the development of online group communications. 410 0$aNew and alternative religions series. 606 $aEnd of the world 606 $aFundamentalism 606 $aInternet$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 610 $aDigital. 610 $aInternet. 610 $aJesus. 610 $acentral. 610 $acommunication. 610 $acreated. 610 $adeveloping. 610 $adocuments. 610 $aessence. 610 $aindividuals. 610 $ainstitution. 610 $alarge. 610 $aleader. 610 $alike-minded. 610 $amovementone. 610 $areligious. 610 $asuch. 610 $atype. 610 $awithout. 615 0$aEnd of the world. 615 0$aFundamentalism. 615 0$aInternet$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a277.308202854678 700 $aHoward$b Robert Glenn$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01520776 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790011103321 996 $aDigital Jesus$93839149 997 $aUNINA
