How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate’s staunchest supporters? These are among the questions acclaimed historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez asks in Jesus and John Wayne, which explains how white evangelicals have brought us to our fractured political moment.
Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism. Evangelical popular 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.
A much-needed reexamination, Jesus and John Wayne explains why evangelicals have rallied behind the least-Christian president in American history and how they have transformed their faith in the process, with enduring consequences for all of us.

B. Murphy—Very agenda driven—11 Jul 2020
Even though she does make some good points on how Trump got elected, I feel she is very agenda driven and not very discriminating when she lumps many different people together under the one “problematic evangelical” banner. Also, she misrepresents many historical events to make her points. From this book it seems like she doesn’t know what the gospel is, what the Bible is all about, and what it means to be a biblical Christian. And I’ve been a Christian for 48 years and I have never heard anyone say John Wayne is a good example of a Christian man.

Ken P.—Finger pointing—26 Mar 2021
This book left a very bitter taste in my heart and soul. I am surprised Ms. Kobes du Mez is a professor in a Christian university. It is biased towards an obviously already forgone conclusion, white males and particularly white male evangelicals are the problem for everything gone wrong in the west, particularly the US. Her definition of evangelicals is pathetic and the book is lacking on any answers to her perceived problems.
Having lived a few years, I have come to observe that if I analyze the faults of others long enough, I will find that what I was looking for in them, proves to be exactly what I always thought them to be. The problem is - when I point my finger at others - there are three fingers pointing back at me! And one pointing at God! I have become guilty of the very same things I was pointing out in others, and I am at least to some extent, knowingly or unknowingly blaming God. In my opinion, finger pointing is what this book is really about…

These comments are great 😁

This book seems a fair assessment.
> Among evangelicals, high levels of theological illiteracy mean that many “evangelicals” hold views traditionally defined as heresy
It’s not only that. Having been to some 30 or so evangelical churches, along with several church camps, summer day camps, youth groups, cross-family home-gatherings, picnics, and protests, i would add also a strong tendency to reading from their bibles regularly but only registering those parts they agree with (this filtering can be entirely subconscious, as a means of reducing cognitive dissonance).
Common among older evangelicals in the west are former hippies who have reverted to chasing half-forgotten images of their fathers and the cowboy heroes they grew up with on radio and television.

Amen!!
Praise the two Corinthians! And Lord Donald the Truthful! And vaccines make you magnetic…your keys stick to you, even though they’re not steel, it’s proof that Lord Donald was sent by God!
July 17th, 2021
Yeah! A real Christian tells the truth. The southern evangelicals worship the Bible [King James only], not God or Jesus the Christ.

@alnilam You got any good UFO books?

“when I point my finger at others - there are three fingers pointing back at me! And one pointing at God!”
How many fingers does that person have?? Are they talking about their thumb? Normally the thumb is facing downward when pointing at something. Are they saying that god lives in hell?

Caesar points his patrician finger with thumb up, like he’s firing a 6 shooter @ the black hats (& the Gauls).
Marilyn Monroe had 6 toes on her left foot. Apparently, there’s no truth to that. The canard is the result of a 1946 beach photo where a clump of sand on her left foot made it look to some as if she had an extra toe.
July 17th, 2021
She did have a retractable tail, however.

Het why do you put on book bashing islam now whats fair is fair. They throw gays off building. Burn people alive… Oh wait that’s right they come after you and attack you. Christians don’t do crap like that
July 17th, 2021
Fundamentalist christians do that. Even christians in the US do what they can while constrained by law. A friend here was killed by her boyfriend (who was never convicted) and another beaten unconscious by her father, both because of “gay”.

@SarahCon, you seem to be forgetting the little things like the Crusades, and the Inquisition. Four hundred years of active Inquisitions, and another four hundred the catholic church actually banned it.
Christianity had it’s less than humane days too.
July 17th, 2021
That would be an ecumenical matter.
July 17th, 2021
…it sure would, Ted. Fascinating history around the Crusades & Inquisition. The actual truth being, as per, very far from the expedient caricature.
July 17th, 2021
Yeh, but expedient caricature’s gave us Monty Python and Black Adder! :)

The Faith which used the fiction of Noah’s son Ham to section the multi generational genocidal rampage of Aboriginal humanity, who existed on Earth for over 120,000 years.

Let’s be honest, all religion is bollocks. It is just a way of manipulating people to behave in a certain way. And, let’s be honest. If it wasn’t for some sanctioned crackpot theory of telling people what to do, the world would be a little scarier, not much, but a little.
July 17th, 2021
“Let’s be honest”, twice? really?
July 17th, 2021
Monty Python and Black Adder, hmm, can’t argue with that. But, let’s be doubly honest, all religion as the basis of the most profound philosophical speculation; contemplation of ultimate questions & of existence itself; how best to live & treat others humanely; as a source of all of these timeless ideas, Caesar can’t write all religions off yet. There will always be light & dark, cos that’s who we is, Ted.
July 17th, 2021
No No. The Genocidal rampage of none Europeans means nothing? just talk talk over that genocide.
July 17th, 2021
Well, I’m European & our closest neighbour was murdering & stealing from my people - not for one or two centuries - but for over 800 phucking years, so pardon me for having little patience with the lecture.

corona is a gift from god.
it is almost killing the right exclusively now.
god is punishing those who dared take his name in vain to such an extent as those.
he has unleashed a plague and gave the cure to those he prefers.
going as far as to allow the wicked to think the cure is evil lol.
god has come to answer our prayers and eliminate a substantial number of their biowaste from our existence.
ALL HAIL COVID , PRAISE COVID , COVID SEES THE WICKED…AND COVID KILLS THEM FOR THEIR SINS.
ALL HAIL COVID!!! ALL HAIL COVID!!!
I mean if they get to claim hurricanes are because of who wants to sleep with who then what other reason can it be that their “god” has abandoned them in their greatest hour of need.

White men, not including Jews are lawfully fair game for all projections of self and group hatred.
Thank you, civil rights, you’ve gone too far.

I read this book a year or two ago. I wrote a review on Amazon under, “The Den.” Basically what we have here is seriously skewed history. As a professional historian, Kristin Kobes du Mez should have been schooled in looking at a subject from all known directions before coming to a conclusion. Self-restraint is critical if you want to be respected and for your work to be appreciated. As it sits, Kristin’s work is a seemless thread of assertions based on cherry picking data, quote mining, assuming motivations conspiracy theories, speculations, and an apparent desire to see the end of all things Trump in favor of abortion on demand and to see more women like Hillary rise up to replace old male leadership. It would be laughable if it wasn’t for the fact that she’s actually teaching at a Christian university.

God\allah can suc* my dic*. It is for fools to follow mind made religion. Mind imagined limited god\allah get sad, angry, happy, etc. Human invented words and that lead to concept of religion and god.

I listened to this audiobook years ago. Kristin Kobes du Mez should be teaching at UCLA. Her credentials she may have, as her ideologically driven historical revisionism she also has. I left a full review on Amazon. I will simply say that her history is as much quackery as is holocaust deniers and moon landing deniers.
