“[T]he book is an engaging entrance into a dynamic and influential strata of secular and religious society that most mainstream and left-of-center scholars simply misunderstand or miss completely.” — David W. Miller , Review of Politics
"Between Jesus and the Market is a cultural studies tour de force that presents a useful and courageous way of reading and addressing the Right. . . . A smart and complex cultural studies approach to the Religious Right . . ." — Rosaria Champagne , Women's Review of Books
"A sharp study. . . . Kintz shows how brainy sophisticates, herself included, have failed to comprehend the power of the religious right’s ‘plain folks’ style, and so have seriously underestimated the peculiar power of Christian women. . . . No matter how artificial or calculated, warmth is a direct appeal to the emotions, and emotion is precisely where Kintz locates the right’s secret strength. She calls it ‘resonance’—those small moments of private feeling folded into larger public forms—and although she looks at male manifestations, from the conservative adoption of warrior and cowboy models to the rise of the Promise Keepers, Kintz is most dazzling and conflicted on the subject of women and religion." — Katherine Dieckmann , Voice Literary Supplement
“Kintz is one of the few scholars on the left who takes the notion of religious faith seriously: while she is not a theologian, she understands the deeply affective longing for spiritual knowledge that motivates the political awakening of men and women of the right. Avoiding the tendency to see the right as a ragtag bag of ‘fanatics,’ Kintz articulates the philosophic, psychic, and political consequences of ‘naming’ oneself as part of an activist spiritual community.” — Peggy Phelan, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University
“Kintz’s research is revealing, even shocking. Between Jesus and the Market is of paramount importance if we are ever to understand, and not merely revile or embrace, the movements she studies.” — Juliet Flower MacCannell, University of California, Irvine
“Linda Kintz’s clear and profound understanding of the crucial symbolic and political positions occupied by born-again women in contemporary America will enlighten public dialogue in ways that might actually, finally, move it forward.” — Alice Jardine, Harvard University
