The result is a wash: rather than making America more Christian, the mega churches have simply succeeded in making Christianity more American”

Eleven Mega Churches, yet another play on Edward Ruscha's Thirtyfour Parking Lots (1967) features google maps screen-captures of a selection of 11 of the 100 largest churches in the US. This book contains images depicting sprawling parking lots, coupled with cul-de-sac laden homogenous housing developments and swimming pools, all icons of a distinctly American and more distinctly middle class ex-urban/suburban landscape.
