AB "Christians under Covers shifts how scholars and popular media talk about religious conservatives and sex. In an ethnography drawn from Christian sexuality websites, Kelsy Burke examines how some evangelical Christians use digital media to promote the idea that God wants married, heterosexual couples to have satisfying sex lives.

This book complicates boundaries between normal and subversive, empowered and oppressed, and sacred and profane"--Provided by publisher
