Christians Under Covers shifts how scholars and popular media talk
about religious conservatives and sex. Moving away from debates
over homosexuality, premarital sex, and other perceived sexual
sins, Kelsy Burke examines Christian sexuality websites to show how
some evangelical Christians use digital media to promote the idea
that God wants married, heterosexual couples to have satisfying sex
lives. These evangelicals maintain their religious beliefs while
incorporating feminist and queer language into their talk of
sexuality-encouraging sexual knowledge, emphasizing women's
pleasure, and justifying marginal sexual practices within Christian
marriages. This illuminating ethnography complicates the boundaries
between normal and subversive, empowered and oppressed, and sacred
and profane.
