Christian Popular Culture from The Chronicles of Narnia to Duck Dynasty

Chapter 2, titled "The Prostitute in the Fairy Tale" is about Francine Rivers's Redeeming Love. The subtitle of the chapter is "Objectifying Women in Redeeming Love."

Here's part of the abstract:

This book examines popular Christian narratives with rigorous scholarly methods and assumes that they are just as complex, fascinating, and worthy of investigation as the latest secular Netflix series or dystopian novel. While most scholars focus on the religious aspects of Christian texts, this study takes a new approach by analyzing their social responsibility in portraying the complex dynamics of race, class, and gender in a profoundly unequal America. Close readings of six case studies--The Chronicles of Narnia, Francine Rivers's Redeeming Love, Jan Karon's Mitford novels, Left Behind, the films of the Sherwood Baptist Church, and Duck Dynasty--uncover both harmful stereotypes and Christians serving as leaders in social justice.
