Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Inside Evangelicalism, Mark Ward Sr. combines ethnographic, autoethnographic, and sociolinguistic research to identify and analyze white evangelicals distinctive culture and speech code from a perspective rooted deeply in both communication studies and the evangelical community. The Bible emerges as evangelicalisms one dominant symbol that unifies all meaning and divides the world into a cosmic dualism between secular humanism and an all-encompassing biblical worldview. The associated language of literalism drives evangelical culture, cognition, and identity, creating a system of ordered social relations enacted through patriarchy, anti-intellectualism, authoritarianism, and white Christian nationalism. Wards positionality as both an ethnographer of religious communication who has observed white evangelical culture for two decades and a self-identified evangelical for four decades makes him uniquely qualified to cast an insiders critical yet balanced eye on conservative white Christian culture. Inside Evangelicalism complements existing scholarship within anthropology and sociologywhere evangelicalism has been studied in conjunction with the rise of the Religious Rightwhile contributing unique insights from religious communication studies. The book is also a landmark in its own right, a work that demonstrates the productive complementarity of ethnographic and autoethnographic research and the first study to describe evangelical culture through the ethnography of its communication. In this book, Mark Ward Sr. combines ethnographic and autoethnographic research to identify and analyze white evangelicals distinctive speech code and to illumine the complexities of conservative white evangelical culture with an insiders critical yet balanced eye.
