Christian Popular Culture from The Chronicles of Narnia to Duck Dynasty

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Eleanor Hersey Nickel’s work provides a timely and much-needed examination of Christianity and popular culture. While some of her texts, such as Duck Dynasty and Left Behind, are ignored or dismissed by other scholars, Hersy Nickel treats each of her selected texts with respect, dignity, and academic rigor. Her analysis goes beyond religion to analyze the gendered and racial implications found in each text. Her work is essential reading for scholars of popular culture.”
