"Jesus and John Wayne: How the Gospel Was Co-opted by Cultural and Political Movements" by historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez, which examines the growing influence of evangelical Christianity on the American political scene. The author traces the rise of conservative evangelicalism in the United States, from its early days to the Trump era, showing how the movement has increasingly engaged with political issues, especially around themes of masculinity, family and war. The book examines key figures in conservative evangelicalism, such as Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Phyllis Schlafly, James Dobson and Donald Trump, unraveling the theology and political strategies that fueled the movement's rise. The book also examines the consequences of conservative evangelicalism's influence on American culture and politics, including the growth of political polarization and the intensification of the culture wars.
