This week, we’ll look at the Biblezine -- the text of the Bible (or parts of it) packaged in a format that looks a lot like People Magazine or US Weekly. What happens to the message of the Bible when it takes on this medium? What motivations – both theological and commercial – lie behind the Biblezine and the big business of Bible publishing? How do these types of “Bibles” influence popular understandings of Scripture and its interpretation?

Psalm 23; Acts 9:36-43

In this session, we critically examine the widely distributed evangelistic track known Four Laws of Faith and how it summarizes and simplifies the good news of God’s message of salvation.

This opening session explores the idea of Roadside Religion, providing examples of everyday artifacts of faith and discussing why they are worth studying.
