What is evangelical print culture? -- The world of evangelical publishing -- Marks of membership in an evangelical canon -- Readers and writers navigate the currents of the market -- Earnestly contending for the faith -- Priesthood of all believers -- Singing with the spirit and the understanding -- Unifying the pilgrim community.
The evangelical publishing community has been growing for more than two hundred years.
