The \u201cparadigm-influencing\u201d book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America.<\/p>\n

Jesus and John Wayne\u00a0is 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\u2015or in the words of one modern chaplain, with \u201ca spiritual badass.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they\u2019ve read John Eldredge\u2019s\u00a0Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex\u2015and 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\u2015mythical 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 \u201cChristian America.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

Challenging the commonly held assumption that the \u201cmoral majority\u201d 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\u2019 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,\u00a0Jesus and John Wayne\u00a0shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.<\/p>\n
