The Privilege of Being Banal: Art, Secularism, and Catholicism in Paris.

Abstract

119 what Modern terms “evangelical secularism.” Apocalyptic Geographies cites Modern’s Secularism in Antebellum America when examining Henry David Thoreau’s Walden (2011, 203, n. 57), but does not engage with the concept of “evangelical secularism” as a framework or Modern as a significant interlocuter. Deeper engagement with religious studies scholars would have offered more nuanced ways of theorizing the American landscape as an apocalyptic, evangelical mediascape entangled in secularism and the Enlightenment.
