On this episode of the podcast, we talk with historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez about her NYT bestselling book Jesus and John Wayne (Liveright, 2020). The theme question of the episode: "what have we lost in our desire to win?" Some topics we discuss:
- What surprised Kristin in her research and in the book's reception
- Who is an evangelical? Who gets to say what is mainstream to evangelicalism and what is on the fringe?
- How "Reformed" communities who have traditionally been "evangelical adjacent" fit into the picture.
- What to do when we realize how much popular culture shapes Christian identity, and what it takes to resist, repent, and repair.
- Areas for further research (the need for ethnographic studies!) and where the conversation can go from here.
