"A scholar of American Christianity answers perhaps the most bewildering question of our time: Why are evangelicals "the Donald's" most fervent supporters? Donald Trump is a libertine who lacks even basic knowledge of the Christian faith. Yet in 2016 he won 81 percent of the white evangelical vote, and continues to rely on white evangelicals as his base of support. While we assume the religious right has pragmatic reasons for backing Trump, in truth he represents the fulfillment of evangelicals' most deeply held values. As historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez demonstrates, American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism-or, in the words of one modern chaplain, with "a spiritual badass." Trump is hardly the first flashy celebrity to capture evangelicals' hearts and minds, having followed the path blazed by, among others, John Wayne, Oliver North, and Mel Gibson. A revelatory account of a uniquely influential subculture, Jesus and John Wayne incisively reveals why evangelicals have rallied behind patriarchal power and the least- Christian president in American history"--… (mais)

    Tyranny of Greed: Trump, Corruption, and the Revolution to Come por Timothy K. Kuhner (Emilyt804)
    Emilyt804: Kuhner rips through several academic disciplines inside of a sentence to explain why Trump became an American political phenomenon, and why we can expect more of the same types of bad politics/law absent a revolution of moral thought. Kristin Kobes duMez uses the lenses of theology and gender studies to explain why so many white male evangelicals justify support for Donald Trump and other badly-behaved, toxic politicians and hangers-on. If you need one of these books for an essay or a research paper, I recommend them both.… (mais)

Interesting history of the movement from about the past 100 years. My only complaint about the book is that by the end it feels like she is beating a dead horse, due to all the repetition throughout. ( )

Interesting insight into the role of "masculinity" in evangelical circles and their political influence.
A lot of things that made me want to throw up, particularly in the last chapter about abuse in these churches and their hypocritical coverups. But it goes to explain a lot about why "family values" don't matter at the end, as long as the abuser represents a strong male leading figure… ( )

I will be pondering the content and substance of this book for a long time to come. A favorite author of mine, Heidi Chiavaroli, recommended this book, or I would not have known about it. She said it would be a difficult subject matter but needed to be read. Upon completing this book, I agree that everyone should read it. It was an eye-opening experience. Maybe if more people read it, we can work together to unite this nation once again and return to the faith of the first Christians. ( )

On a bitterly cold day in January 2016, Donald Trump stood on the stage of an auditorium at a small Christian college in Iowa. (Introduction)
The path that ends with John Wayne as an icon of Christian masculinity is strewn with a colorful cast of characters, from the original cowboy president to a baseball-player-turned-preacher to a singing cowboy and a dashing young evangelist. (Chapter 1)
