Mike Johnson isn’t Just Your Average Christian Right Avatar — He’s Influenced by Fringe Movements Unfamiliar to Most Political Analysts

By Annika Brockschmidt

…n line to the presidency, is not committed to democracy, historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez warns in Politico: “He’s not advocating for majority rule; he seems to be saying he’ll advocate for minority rule if that’s what it takes to make sure we stay on the Christian foundation that [he believes] the Founders established.” For Johnson, she explains, human dignity does not extend to gay or transgender people: “His understanding of human dignity is root…

Seeking Broad Appeal to US Christians, ‘God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism’ Glosses Over Critical Context

By Chrissy Stroop

…l tool in persuading Christians to watch.” But they wouldn’t have had to muzzle their Christian interviewees to provide a more accurate, more balanced narrative, though the film absolutely could have done with fewer evangelical interviewees. In addition to bringing a few well informed exvangelicals or similar critics of evangelicalism into the conversation, all they needed to do was focus more on the historical and sociological, and on the threat…

So You Want to Write an Article Deflecting All Blame From Christianity: A Handy Guide

By Robert Repino

…ld be incomplete. To his credit, Wehner includes history professor Kristen Kobes Du Mez, who is willing to tie the toxic politics to Christology. But that’s as far as the criticism will go. Du Mez merely serves as cover, and gets completely ignored in Wehner’s sweeping conclusion. “Something has gone amiss,” he states. Yeah, something. And we’ll never find it by talking to the paid spokesmen for Christianity. What’s truly stunning is the omission…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

By Peter Laarman

…ne should send him a copy of Jesus and John Wayne by the estimable Kristin Kobes du Mez. But at this point when it comes to Brooks it seems that one’s low expectations will never be disappointed. We’ll need to turn elsewhere for depth. And in my judgment we’ll only get a firm handle on the increasingly dangerous expressions of freedom ideology by examining their roots in racism and racism-drenched religion. The new report’s clear focus on the cent…

The Lament of the Christian Disney Dad: What Evangelicals Really Hate About ‘Wokeness’ at Disney World

By Josh Parks

…ulse to cast themselves in starring roles can be quite literal. As Kristin Kobes Du Mez shows in Jesus and John Wayne, they’ve often adopted actual movie stars—not just John Wayne but also Mel Gibson and, of course, Ronald Reagan—as their models of righteousness. Or they remake history’s established heroes in their own image, as Eric Metaxas does in his much-criticized biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. More generally, though, evangelicals believe…

UPDATED: The Coup That Never Ends: ‘Whitemanism’ and the Perils of a Flimsy Liberalism

By Peter Laarman

…te here is regeneration through blood, or Jesus and John Wayne, as Kristin Kobes Du Mez puts it in her provocative book exploring masculinist Christianity and its signal contributions to Rightist ideation. I call the cumulative effect of today’s hydra-headed whitemanist surge the coup that never ends because January 6 was hardly the end of the story. These are not people who will ever accept a diverse and functioning democracy in a country where n…

The Roots of White Evangelicalism’s Crisis Are in White Evangelical Churches, Not Republican Politics

By Jesse Curtis

…ooks such as Lydia Bean’s The Politics of Evangelical Identity and Kristin Kobes Du Mez’s Jesus and John Wayne. The latter has received much well-deserved praise, while the former has been criminally overlooked. Though very different in their methods and style, both books remind us that if we want to understand white evangelical politics, we should look first at white evangelical institutions and the practices and discourses that thrive in those p…

Apocalypse Now and Then: How a Biblical Genre Shapes American Politics

By Christopher Douglas

…the soul of our nation,” and “a battle between good and evil.” As Kristen Kobes du Mez recently wrote, evangelicals saw in Donald Trump a strongman in the model of John Wayne—not pious but willing to break rules fighting for the right side. Radically misappropriated, apocalypse shapes the Christian Right’s sense that it’s engaged in an existential struggle with the powers of darkness. There are no higher values that bind them to their human oppon…

Sharing Many of the Same Flaws as its Subject ‘The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill’ Podcast Puts Blame Anywhere But Where It Belongs

By Jessica Johnson

…rizing podcasts, drawing audience numbers up and generating social media buzz. Why use language like “kill,” suggesting a crime had happened, rather than control, authoritarianism, and/or megalomania? As The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill climbed the Apple charts, clocking in at number three on August 12, 2021, behind number one, “True Crime,” and number two, “The Daily” by the New York Times, this ranking was celebrated by fans who made note of the p…

‘We Remember a United States That Fought the Nazis’: A German Scholar of Fascism Weighs in on Christian Nationalism in the U.S.

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ood of non-Jewish, usually Christian, children, for ritual purposes. The Nazis made effective use of the blood libel to demonize Jews,” according to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Brockschmidt says, “This narrative is returning, being recycled.” “As a German historian,” Brockschmidt tells me, “the authoritarian and fascistic tendencies in American Christian Nationalism make me very uneasy.” There’s a distinct direction that Christian Nationalis…
