It challenges how audiences typically consider religious architecture by shifting the focus from believers to doubters and from architectural producers to architectural consumers. Its chapters explore landscapes of doubt created by "Touchdown Jesus" at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana; the Mormon temple outside Washington, D.C., recast as something from The Wizard of Oz; Jerry Falwell's waterslide plunge photograph and The Simpson's "Praiseland" episode satirizing Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Heritage USA evangelical theme park in South Carolina; the doctored photograph making fun of Oral Roberts's claim of seeing a 900-foot Jesus at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma; MAD magazine's "Charles Darwin's Night at the Creation Museum" parody of the Creation Museum in Kentucky; and the "Gumby Jesus" renaming of the Christ of the Ozarks statue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. These expressions of doubt activate the religious built environment in ways unanticipated but illuminating, asking Americans to consider and clarify what it is they believe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Touchdown Jesus! -- Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz, and the Mormon Temple -- Adventures in the evangelical theme park -- Charles Darwin's Night at the Creation Museum -- Gumby Jesus. 650 0 $a Christianity and culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Cultural landscapes $z United States. 650 0 $a Popular culture $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 651 0 $a United States $x Religion. 650 7 $a Christianity and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859660 650 7 $a Cultural landscapes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01740895 650 7 $a Popular culture $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071382 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Grubiak, Margaret M., $t Monumental jesus $d Charlottesville : University of Virginia Press, 2020. $z 9780813943756 $w (DLC) 2019036809 830 0 $a Midcentury (Charlottesville, Va.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025616.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC45F658B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
