The Evangelical-Capitalist Resonance Machine

William E. Connolly

Johns Hopkins University

The alliance in the United States today between cowboy capitalism and evangelical Christianity cannot be understood sufficiently through the categories of efficient causality or ideological analysis. The constituencies fold similar spiritual dispositions into somewhat different ideologies and creeds. Each party then amplifies these dispositions in the other through the media politics of resonance. The ethos infusing the resonance machine is expressed without being articulated. The inability to grasp this political economy separate from the spiritualities infusing it may carry implications for the form a successful countermovement could assume.

Key Words: resonance • causality • capitalism • ressentiment • evangelism • Open Theism • media • sensibility
