Hanna Rosin has a great quick read on Slate this week, discussing Christian pop culture in context of Rapture Ready!, a new book on the subject.
The highlights are certainly the descriptions of pop-lite evangelical alternatives -
("There are Christian raves and Christian rappers and Christian techno, which is somehow more Christian even though there are no words. There are Christian comedians who put on a Christian version of Punk'd, called Prank 3:16."). There's no doubt, though, that Rosin takes this subject matter seriously, and what's more interesting, to my mind, is her argument about how the lack of authenticity in Christian pop (in all its multimedia forms) actually does more harm than good to the Christian "brand."
