Bielo: Bible Study Shapes Identity and Action

July 24, 2012 by Micheal Hickerson 1 Comment

In this final post on James Bielo’s Words Upon the Word: An Ethnography of Evangelical Bible Study, I’m writing about both his final chapter — “Negotiating Self and Others” — and his conclusion.

Bielo: Bible Study as “Backstage” for Witnessing

July 17, 2012 by Micheal Hickerson No Comments

This week, the chapter I’m covering from James S. Bielo’s Words Upon the Word: An Ethonography of Evangelical Bible Study is all about “witnessing.” More on what that means in a moment.

James Bielo’s Words Upon the Word: An Ethnography of Evangelical Group Bible Study closely observes several Bible studies in Lansing, Michigan. I’ve been reading and blogging about the book this summer as part of my efforts to gain a sense of the academic perspective on evangelical Christians[1.

Bielo: Intimacy in Evangelical Bible Studies

July 3, 2012 by Micheal Hickerson No Comments

Why do evangelical Christians join – and remain in – Bible studies? That’s how I would characterize the basic themes of this and next weeks’ chapters of James S. Bielo’s Words Upon the Word: An Ethnography of Evangelical Group Bible Study, which I have been blogging through as part of my research project on academic […]

Bielo: How Do Evangelicals Read the Bible?

June 26, 2012 by Micheal Hickerson 2 Comments

This summer, I’m reading — and blogging about — several books that reflect academic understandings of American evangelicals. The first of these is James S. Bielo’s Words Upon the Word: An Ethnography of Evangelical Group Bible Study. Previously, I wrote about Bielo’s discussion of Bible study as a social institution and how he decided to […]
