Biblical Porn: Affect, Labor, and Pastor Mark Driscoll's Evangelical Empire is a 2018 book by Jessica Johnson about the culture of Mars Hill Church under the leadership of Mark Driscoll. Johnson is an anthropologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. [1] The book uses research techniques including interviews with church leaders and members during the existence of the church. [2] Publishers Weekly said it provided "seething critiques" of the male-focused, " muscular Christianity" espoused by the church but was "more an ethnography than a exposé of a megachurch's downfall". [3] Foreword Reviews said it displayed "deep insight and an absence of judgment". [4] A local Seattle review described it as a reminder of " toxic Christian masculinity" during a largely forgotten episode that is "almost impossible now to describe ... to someone who is new to Seattle". [5] The author herself described the Seattle area as "definitely not immune to any of this" despite Seattle's "image" as progressive and irreligious. [6]
