I'll check it out, but I go with a significant degree of skepticism. I find most evangelical forays into popular culture tend to be dreck, as the focus is not on the quality of the actual product, but on it being a tool for evangelism. Sadly, we as Christians forget that quality is evangelistic in itself (don't we believe in a perfect God who does all things well?). A pile of dog mess on the sidewalk with John 3:16 on a Post-It stuck on it is still a pile of dog mess.
Daniel Radosh, who is involved in the defunct-again/not-defunct again media magazine Radar, as well as it's grandfather-in-genre Spy magazine, is writing a book on the Evangelical pop-culture, called "Rapture-Ready! Adventures in the Strange Pop-Culture of The Religious Right". It's usually the left/non-religious that refers to evangelical Christians as "The Religious Right" so I realize that some political bias will creep in, but as a fan of both magazines I'm going to check it out, and will probably agree with most of what he says. He mentions it in an interview in MediaBistro: http://www.mediabistro.com/mbtoolbox/pop_quiz/pop…
