The book examines the portrayal of evangelicals in fiction over the past century, highlighting their depiction as adversaries of the arts by non-evangelical authors. It presents a narrative where artists, often battling against stereotypes like the failed evangelical or hypocritical pastor, seek liberation. Instead of rejecting these clichés, the author suggests that evangelicals embrace them, challenging the notion that the arts are inherently positive. This perspective draws on John Carey's scholarship, questioning the assumed value of the arts in society.
