Description
This meticulously researched history traces how ideals of rugged, militant masculinity took root in white American evangelicalism and shaped its teachings, institutions, and political commitments over the past seventy-five years. From influential ministers and cultural icons to contemporary political leaders, it examines the movement’s enduring search for strongman authority and the consequences for women, families, churches, and public life. Engaging and incisive, the book explores the connections among faith, patriarchy, abuse of power, Christian nationalism, and conservative politics, offering a challenging account of how religious convictions became intertwined with a fractured national culture.
