New York Times best-selling author, Kristin Kobes Du Mez wrote Jesus and John Wayne which is "a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism and reveals how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism―or in the words of one modern chaplain, with a 'spiritual badass.’” She claims the key to understanding this transformation is recognizing the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism.
Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a professor of history at Calvin University and the author of A New Gospel for Women. She has written for the Washington Post, Christianity Today, Christian Century, and Religion & Politics, among other publications. Recently she's been a major contributing voice on Christianity Today's The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast.
Here we talk about the historical timeline of how culture has viewed gender, how these views have changed through the years, and how the sort of American nationalism we currently see is fairly a new thing (1970s). We talk the role John Eldredge’s “Wild at Heart” book played into this mess, the great harm of "the Billy Graham Rule" and how institutionally, the church really isn't tending towards healthier postures with gender.
