“Denis J. Bekkering’s American Televangelism & Participatory Cultures is a solid addition to religion and popular culture studies. … Religion and popular culture scholars can find value in Bekkering’s methodologies, his use of the Internet and YouTube as an archive for starting research, and his concept of recreational Christianity as an interpretive framework.” (David Feltmate, Reading Religion, January 28, 2020)
