Having grown up in the Evangelical Christian national movement full of all its patriarchy, culture wars, and racist adjacent rhetoric, this book was a historical journey to how and why 81% of white evangelicals voted for arguably the least “Christian-like” presidential candidate in recent history. This book looks at culture and Christianity from the early 1900s till today. This is a great read for history buffs, political junkies, and yes, even Christians.
