Abstract
ABSTRACT Based on an archival analysis of the popular evangelical magazine Christianity Today, the story of evangelical thinking about pornography during the course of the magazine's history from 1956 to 2014 is traced. This article shows how evangelicals have developed and deployed the idea of pornography addiction, and in doing so, have communicated messages about pornography that have made it more likely for evangelicals to perceive themselves as being addicted to pornography. This article investigates the motivations behind these messages, and suggests that these messages may, in fact, tell us less about individual pornography users and more about those who are developing and deploying such messages.
期刊介绍：
Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
