As one who slowly migrated out of traditional evangelicalism and has encountered at times, conflict with people I consider dear to me going far back, these difficult topics about the disparity and underlying belief systems that intermingle with a tribal version of Christianity, have troubled me and I’ve given thought to over the years. Themes of American Nationalism – the unholy marriage of Bible and flag – have been on my mind for awhile. I know I shared this book and referenced it on social media a few times in January – and perhaps it was as far back as last fall, actually.
I think it is sometimes helpful to listen to interviews with book authors to help decide if we want to read/listen in full. Last August 2020 I had added a piece here called The En thusiastic Election of the Embodiment of All Seven Deadly Sins which was my expressed view at that time and before surrounding this topic. The title/topic caught my eye as I have listened to this audiobook back around January 2021. Taking a brief moment to link a good podcast by Lee Camp I just listened to featuring a talk with Kristin Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.
