[Du Mez's] astonishing gifting was in the way she took 1000 puzzle pieces and fit them together. I don't swallow books whole but the evidence for much of what she's written is staring us in the face.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The "paradigm-influencing" book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The "paradigm-influencing" book ( Christianity Today ) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked 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." As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today's evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they've read John Eldredge's Wild at Heart , and they learned about purity before they learned about sex--and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes--mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of "Christian America." Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the "moral majority" backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals' most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans., Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked 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."

    OMG! What is American Christianity? How is it Administered in both State -vs Churches

    In my Bible, Christ is a very cleaver man on a Messianic Mission (not only because he is the Messiah that is prophesied in the Old Testament but when confronted (s a man) by both the Pharisees and the Roman soldiers, he looks at the coin and asks, “Whose face is on the coin? ….One thing for sure, Christ didn’t turn to his Apostles and say, “ okay guys, Caesar’s on this coin, let’s go down and have a chit chat with him about this law… No Christ was on a Messianic Mission. Not a political mission. God’s laws are permanent meant to Save Souls. Man’s laws are not permanent. Man’s laws are temporary meant to achieve either money or power or both.
