God Is Back
God Is Back: How the Global Revival of Faith Is Changing the World | John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge
2 posts | 1 read
A landmark examination of the resurgence of faith around the globe The Editor in Chief of The Economist and its Lexington columnist show how the global rise of religion will dramatically impact our century in God Is Back. Contrary to the popular assumption that modernism would lead to the rejection of faith, American-style evangelism has sparked a global revival. On the street and in the corridors of power the authors shine a bright light on a vast yet until now hidden world of religion. Twenty-first-century faith is being fueled by a very American emphasis on competition and a customer-driven attitude toward salvation. Revealing how the religion boom is destabilizing politics and the global economy, God Is Back concludes by showing how the same American ideas that created our unique religious style can be applied to channel the rising tide of faith away from volatility and violence.

This is potentially the snarkiest aside that I have ever seen in a published work. I liked the Da Vinci Code! I mean, it's not Shakespeare, but neither is your book Misters Micklethwait and Wooldridge! #lol

Can we all just agree that it's super not ok to refer to women by their first name while simultaneously referring to men by their last names if you don't personally know the woman? Which, considering she died in 1944, I doubt you did?! (Aimee Semple McPherson is just Aimee, meanwhile William Seymour is consistently referred to by his last name.) #FthePatriarchy

BookishFeminist This drives me nuts. Either use last names for both, first names for both, or their initials for both. 7y
Shmemilina @BookishFeminist Agreed! It's just so disrespectful! 7y
