Jennifer McKinney's Making Christianity Manly Again: Mark Driscoll, Mars Hill Church and American evangelicalism, Oxford University Press just came out--a brief list of the small list of books WtH actually recommends on the history of MH so far

Jennifer McKinney's book is called Making Christianity Manly Again: Mark Driscoll, Mars Hill Church, and American Evangelicalism

I've picked it up and will start reading it.  I must confess that, having written as much as I have about Mars Hill since maybe 2008 or so, I am not sure I'm going to see anything new in McKinney's book.  What's more I attended the little school by the canal and got a journalism degree there.  

I must confess I'm not holding my breath thinking there's going to be anything new in this book.  In fact I find the likelihood that it will have anything new to say compared to earlier works to be somewhere close to zero.  

I do want to take a moment to mention it because I'll be reading it and because I've got a list of stuff I've already that is thematically or directly related to Mars Hill Church that i do recommend.  I don't anticipate McKinney's book being a bad book but I'm about to share a list of books or dissertations I've read so far that touch on Mars Hill that will explain, I trust, why I don't anticipate any surprises in the new OUP volume. Books and thoughts on them after the break:
