“My friend Kevin Harvey has given us a creative, lighthearted, and precise perspective of the Bible in pop culture. Pop culture doesn’t often get the Bible right, but make no mistake about it, pop culture, regardless of motive, does get Bible. If current trends are any indication, we can expect more Bible, not less.”
“Kevin Harvey’s new book All You Want to Know about the Bible in Pop Culture is a powerful reminder that God shows up in the most unexpected places. The Bible itself may not be front-page news today, but its indelible imprint on our culture continues.”
“My friend Kevin demonstrates cultural awareness and biblical devotion in this insightful and enjoyable book. As one who often uses music and films to illustrate my sermon points, All You Want to Know about the Bible in Pop Culture gave me several new ideas. He made me aware of numerous spiritual parallels in pop culture. I recommend it to anyone who is seeking to communicate biblical truth to a media-literate world and to anyone searching for truth, meaning, and eternal beauty—and that’s all of us.”
