This book explores the ironic fan cultures surrounding televangelists Robert Tilton and Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner, highlighting parodies and participatory media from the 1980s. It critiques traditional views on religious economy and examines how fans engage with notions of authenticity in a playful manner, challenging the sincerity often associated with religion.
