Religion in Vogue
Shows how the fashion industry in the mid- to late twentieth century created a particular way of seeing religion as fashionable From cross necklaces to fashion designs inspired by nuns’ habits, how have fashion sources interpreted Christianity? And how, in turn, have these interpretations shaped conceptions of religion in the United States? Religion in Vogue explores the intertwined history of Christianity and the fashion industry. Using a divers…
Jonestown on Television
This media review adds to existing scholarship about Peoples Temple by examining Jonestown’s presence in television history—from 1980 when actor Powers Boothe won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Jim Jones in the CBS-TV movie Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones to current programs in production by HBO and A&E. In addition to these docudramas, “Jonestown on Television” also addresses explicit and implicit references to Jonestown that have occ…
Omg
This article analyzes the relationship between religion and fashion through an examination of evangelical t-shirts. It demonstrates how Christian companies attempt to authenticate their t-shirt apparel through origin stories, text and graphics, and model styling. However, this authentication process does not go uncontested. For example, the t-shirts and tanks created by Heart OMG resemble "authentic" evangelical tees in some ways, but not in othe…
The ideal democratic apparel
Studies of clothing highlight the power of fashion and the ways dominant groups police deviant fashion; however, they neglect to analyze how a mainstream fashion item, the T-shirt, also helps monitor the boundaries and norms of American society. This article examines the relationship between the T-shirt form and religious intolerance. Scholars have analyzed nativist rhetoric, polemical literature, and caricatured renderings, yet clothing as a sit…

Intolerance and American Religious History
The burning of Catholic convents, the night riding of the Klan, the bombing of abortion clinics represent just a few examples of the ways religious intolerance has been a pervasive and persistent feature of American religious life; however, until recently, it has remained absent as a category of analysis in much of the scholarship on U.S. religion. To acquaint readers with this emerging topic of interest, this essay examines how scholars are addr…
Christianizing the Klan
According to the biblical book of Daniel chapter 3, King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the Babylonian Empire where the Jews lived in exile, commissioned the building of a ninety-foot golden image and commanded the people to worship it. Refusal to comply meant one's death in a fiery furnace. While most obeyed the king's dictate, the story recounts how Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego, Jews who worked for the king, refused to worship the image and rema…
