Evangelical Christian Women draws on two years of ethnographic research nationwide to shed new light on the gender conflict faced by women in evangelical Christianity. Julie Ingersoll goes beyond previous attempts to find avenues of empowerment for fundamentalist women to offer a more nuanced look at the challenges they face when they occupy positions of leadership which violate traditional gender norms. She looks where other studies do not—at women who, while remaining entrenched in and committed to evangelical Christianity, are also resisting accepted gender roles.Evangelical Christian Women offers a look at conservative women who challenge gender norms within their religious traditions, the fallout they experience as part of the ensuing conflict, and the significance of the conflict over gender for the development and character of culture. In the face of a growing number of scholarly studies of conservative religious women that argue that submission is somehow "really" empowerment, this book seeks to get at the other side of the story; to document and explore the experiences of the women caught in the middle of the conservative Christian culture war over gender.

Social media and the internet have transformed how we access information, yet they have simultaneously fueled a crisis of deception, misinformation, and disinformation that challenge the very foundations of democratic society. Truth-telling, once a cornerstone of public discourse, has been undermined and increasingly replaced by the strategic use of deception—"alternative facts," conspiracy theories, self-serving fabrications, and half-truths are now rewarded and even celebrated as effective tools for shaping public opinion, despite their profound dangers. What was once a clear separation of truth and lies has now become blurred.This book explores lying and deception in social media and politics through a multidisciplinary lens, drawing on insights from psychology, religious studies, communication, political science and public administration, and public health. Contributing authors examine this urgent problem, offering explanations for the prevalence of deception while analysing its serious consequences for individuals, communities, and societies at large. Importantly, they also propose meaningful solutions.A distinctive feature of this volume is the inclusion of undergraduate and graduate students as authors and co-authors across several chapters. As digital natives navigating the latest developments in social media and AI, young adults bring essential perspectives to this conversation. Their concerns and insights are presented verbatim in the Foreword, adding authenticity and immediacy to the discussion.Written in accessible language that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the work, and enriched by student voices, this book appeals to a broad audience: students and researchers across multiple disciplines, as well as general readers seeking to understand and navigate the pervasive challenges of lying and deception in our contemporary information environment.
