Jesus Junk: A $4.6 billion industry! At best "not a true reflection of creativity" ... at worst "copycats of corporate brands and logos"
Christian parody products walk a fine line
Example: Do you like shirts from teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch? How about a Christian copycat that transforms the chain’s name to “Abreadcrumb & Fish,” a reference to the biblical story of Jesus miraculously feeding the multitudes with bread and a few fish?
I’d be impressed if any Christian school, camp, and college that banned Abercrombie & Fitch would also ban Jesus Junk!
I can’t help but think of the book by Franky Schaeffer, Addicted to Mediocrity. I think it puts a great perspective on all this “Jesus Junk.” Is Christianity ever going to get back to “approving things that are excellent”?
