Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation

Jesus and John Wayne is a groundbreaking book that delves into the complex relationship between white evangelicalism and American politics.

Through a sweeping account of the last seventy-five years, Kristin Kobes Du Mez sheds light on how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

This thought-provoking book provides a much-needed reexamination of the role of evangelicals in American politics, and why they have rallied behind the least-Christian president in history.

With engaging examples and a clear, concise writing style, Jesus and John Wayne is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the current political moment and the forces that shape it.
