À propos de cet audio
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.

Amazing look at evangelical Christian history.
Really great book. Well with the listen. Sadly, the cadence of the reader is really off. The emphasis in almost every sentence feels off. And makes an amazing book harder to listen to.

Important
This is one of the most important books you’ll read. Especially if you grew up in church, but even if you didn’t and you wonder what makes church people do shitty things like support Trump.

Quite a detailed look at evangelicals in the US
So sad, people stuck on power, money, and sex. Age old tricks that will never changed and yet we think we can!

Better understanding of how evangelicals accept the vile hypocrisy and conman tactics of their selfish leaders.
As a young boy 50 years ago, while flipping TV stations I would stop to watch Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim and Tammy Baker, Jerry Falwell and a few others. I always felt a pit in my stomach observing their smarmy pitch to seemingly millions of followers. Why and how could so many people be taken in by these slick, smooth talking charlatans was beyond my understanding until this week. Evangelicals have devolved into a cult and can blindly justify their support of an antichrist selfish buffoon who couldn't care less about anyone. How pathetic!
As a Canadian I shudder to think of the widespread damage to America, its political system, the environment, its international reputation and the support for struggling Ukraine will be inflicted if Trump is elected.
After ready Jesus and John Wayne, many questions were answered. The reader's cadence was appropriate for an audiobook trying to share a tragic slow motion train wreck history and not seem biased.

Essential Insight
Anyone who is baffled, worried, angry, hopeless, scared etc about the state of politics in this country MUST read this book. Kristen Kobes du Mez has given us a detailed chronology of the Evangelical movement with all of the relevant players, their ideology and hypocrasies; their fight to maintain and spread their corrupt patriarchal family values and the lasting damage their manical expression of christian male machismo has done. This book has given me tremendous insight on Americas' "inner struggle": (1 step forward, 2 steps back ) And as a 70 year old American woman, it has also given me a new understanding of myself. Thank you Thank you

A really great perspective
This book was so informative & I found it really intriguing to know how the North American church ended up so toxic. You can love Jesus & still hate how people are gatekeeping this religion. Definitely time for the church to start looking inwards

Eye Opening
Worth the read in order to understand the whole Trump thing. Sad commentary on white evangelicalism but understanding the history hopefully will raise awareness amongst the church at wide.

The dangers of religion and religionists
This book is well-written and is well read by the narrator. It lays out the history of the movement that has managed to fool itself and many Americans that god exists for them. It also presents the best rationale for the election of an idiot like Donald Trump that I have yet read.

Explains so much
This book is a must read for all who have been brought up in the Evangelical tradition. It’s a difficult history to digest but an important one to know.
