Exegete Me Baby, One More Time. . .

A girl in our Student Fellowship came to me excitedly the other day with the news that Britney Spears is a born-again Christian. She wanted to know if I had any more info on the subject. I was pleased to hear of it, of course. What an opportunity! Considering how recalcitrant Evangelicalism has been about embracing pop morals and culture, having a Spokes-Not-a-Girl-Not-Yet-a-Woman like Britney could be just the shot in the arm we need! And think of the influence a faith such as hers could have on the millions of Evangelical girls whose parents allow them to buy her records. Why, an abstinence advocate like her could revolutionize the spiritual and sexual mores of a generation. . .

So you can imagine how thrilled I was to see that Britney's agile mind was one step ahead of me. She's put together a relevant and hip Bible study for girls that encapsulates her Christian walk:

It's even ecumenical -- Madonna, a devout Catholic, wrote the forward as well as a chapter on sacred objects as fashion accessories.

What are the chapter titles? I'm dying to know the chapter titles!

That's even more disturbing (and disturbed) than the 9/11 terrorist play set

Discoman, recently we got a flyer from a Christian bookstore we go to. In it, they are touting (at a sale price no less) the New Testament marketed towards teen girls. It looks like a fashion magazine! I kid you not. I'll see if I can find a link.

Just found your blog ... thoroughly enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

What?! That was a JOKE? Drat. I was ready to put Britney's book on my wishlist, right next to Madonna's new childrens book. I guess the search for good role models for my girls must go on. ;-)

Aha! I found Revolve New Testament at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0718003586/002-1394479-3781653?v=glance

Let's face it. The reason this is "laugh out loud" funny is becuase you are only a panda's ear hair from reality. Hey, she wears a cross....

I might have nightmares for days after even thinking about the possibility of such a book! ;-)

Shrode-

Good to see you! I actually considered a blog post to invite ideas for the chapter titles. But then I realized there was no family-friendly way to do that. With an upcoming blog post on polygamy and gay marriage, I thought I'd keep everything else as PG-rated as possible. ;-)


Andrea-

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the average person. That goes double these days. :)


Parson-

Thanks! Come back often...


dogman-

The post is only partially in jest. She is, after all, a good Baptist girl. And once the mainstream publishers have published Trinity-deniers like Benny Hinn, how big of a leap is it to turn Britney into a "Christian" author? Hinn is no less a whorish entertainer than Spears, after all.


Tim-

And just think, Christina Aguilera would feel obligated to one-up Britney's book. I must say, the mind reels...
