Jesus and John Wayne How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a compelling and deeply researched exploration of the relationship between white evangelical Christianity and American politics. The book examines how over the past several decades, evangelicals have embraced a rugged, militant masculinity, shaping their religious and political identity around figures like John Wayne rather than the teachings of Jesus. Du Mez traces how this cultural shift has influenced leadership, gender roles, and policy decisions, ultimately culminating in strong evangelical support for political figures who embody power and aggression over humility and compassion. Through historical analysis and social commentary, the book reveals how these dynamics have led to a distortion of faith and deep divisions within the nation. Thought-provoking and meticulously argued, this work challenges readers to reconsider the intersection of religion, culture, and power in modern America.
