Description:

What does it mean when a band is judged by how hard they pray rather than how hard they rock? Would Jesus buy "Jesus junk" or wear "witness wear"? What do Christian skate parks, raves, and romance novels say about evangelicalism -- and America? Daniel Radosh went searching for the answers and reached some surprising conclusions. Written with the perfect blend of amusement and respect,Rapture Ready!is an insightful, entertaining, and deeply weird journey through the often hidden world of Christian pop culture.

In the beginning



As goods increase, so do those who consume them



The new Jerusalem



He will act deceitfully



To each province in its own script and to each people in its own language



For many will come in my name, claiming, "I am he," and, "The time is near"



And books were opened



Children will see it and be joyful



How awesome is the Lord



For their rock is not like our rock



Celebrate a festival to the Lord



Let them praise his name with dancing



Our mouths were filled with laughter



Give me a man and let us fight each other



Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins



Train the younger women to love their husbands



The opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge



Their visions are false and their divinations a lie
