This includes trading Biblical truths for mass propagation of Christian вЂњcultureвЂќвЂ“a culture of traditional, white, male headship that вЂњsavesвЂќ all who are willing to fall in line under their God-ordained power. The author unpacks how white dominance and colonialism has driven the proliferation of Christianity in service of those who are already in power and who are hungry for more. This exposes the unlikely marriage of American dominance (MAGA) with humble Christian faith. While the USA faces a highly divided presidential election with attacks and sharply drawn lines, some have resorted to a favorite issue galvanizing them without considering other factors that could temper their passionate conviction.ДЇor Evangelicals in America, some wonder how a follower of Jesus could actually support the incumbent president, while others canвЂ™t imagine anything but supporting this president for at least another four years.ДЇor those who wonder, вЂњHow did we get to this point?вЂќ Kobes du Mez masterfully examines a seventy-five year history of evangelicalism in the United States, identifying the moments that coalesced to further empower and embolden white male dominance while casting aside the teachings of Scripture. Jesus and John Wayne fits the вЂњmust readвЂќ category for those open to having the idea of American Christianity tested by the Jesus portrayed in the Gospels.
