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.

Biblical womanhood - the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers - pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It was born in a series of clearly definable historical moments.

Daughter. Duhitár-. Dustr. Dukte. Listen to these English, Sanskrit, Armenian and Lithuanian words, all meaning the same thing, and you hear echoes of one of history’s most unlikely journeys. All four languages—along with hundreds of others, from French and Gaelic, to Persian and Polish—trace their origins to an ancient tongue spoken as the last ice age receded. This language, which we call Proto-Indo-European, was born between Europe and Asia and exploded out of its cradle, fragmenting as it spread east and west.

In this pathbreaking work, now with a new introduction, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order.

Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Quite a detailed look at evangelicals in the US

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.
Better understanding of how evangelicals accept the vile hypocrisy and conman tactics of their selfish leaders.

This was a meticulously researched book, and goodness, I had no idea that there were people (20%+ of the US population) that have been shaped less by the compassionate teachings of Jesus and more by a muscular, authoritarian ideal of masculinity, epitomized by figures like John Wayne, or Mel Gibson's Braveheart. And this version of faith is "patriotic", glorifies authorised violence, and eshews compassion to refugees; being so patriarchial is predjudiced toward woman. Plus racist, the idea was explored that so many are home schooled as a way to combat the desegregation of schools. It really is toxic masculinity distorted by religion.
So many passing facts and figures. Some just leap out. For example there is a 100 student Christian College (that were all previously home schooled) and the graduates of that College comprised of 7% of the interns in the White House.
At the end, (this book was published in 2020) it shows how the White Evangelicals (or at least 80%+) voted for Trump.
WWJD? Probably Not This ....
