Many women in the West have come to see themselves as consumers rather than worshipers of God and view their bodies as commodities instead of places of worshipful service. This thesis examines the intertwining of images and identities within consumer culture, noting that Christian women may not differ from their non-Christian counterparts in their responses to the images surrounding them. A survey of Christian college women was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. The findings suggest tension between consumerism and Christianity, the negative impact of images in consumer culture on Christian women's perception of their bodies, and that the church has not been a helpful resource for most of the sample population of women in comabtting the assumptions of consumer culture.
