Maines, “‘Personal Relationship With Jesus’: A Popular Ideograph among Evangelical Catholics,” Journal of Communication and Religion, Vol. 36, No. 1 (Spring 2013), 1-24 – analyses how the ‘language game’ of a ‘personal relationship with Jesus’ has found a home among many Catholics and asks whether this rhetorical convergence with Evangelical Protestants betokens an erosion of distinctive Catholic identity.
