Redeem All

"Redeem All is an in-depth examination of evangelical engagement with digital affordances. Its profiles of evangelical tech geeks, entrepreneurs, online missionaries, and feminists are a welcome corrective to the misconception of an evangelical monolith. Rather than focusing on Trumpvangelicals, the book reveals nuanced believers willing to rethink aspects of their theology, including systemic racism and sexism, to meet the current moment."--Diane Winston, Knight Chair in Media and Religion, University of Southern California

"In this engaging and sophisticated work of cultural analysis, Laughlin does a masterful job of showing the complex ways in which technology and social media impact American evangelicals' thoughts about salvation and redemption in the twenty-first century. Based on original research with Christians who proselytize, worship, work, and communicate using everything from VR technology and Bible apps to Twitter hashtags and online chatrooms, Redeem All demonstrates how and why examining such a 'digital habitus' matters for scholarly and popular discussions about modern Christianity's connections to capitalist logics, racial and gender biases, and even popular conspiracy theories. This book will help readers to reconsider much of what they think they already know about Christian practices and beliefs in a digital age."--John L. Jackson, Jr., Walter H.
