“ engaging history of the shifting ideal of Christian masculinity. Sure to be controversial, the author’s closely reasoned argument is thoughtful and provoking.” Booklist “ fascinating study of the rise of militant masculinity among Evangelicals. “Those who legitimately ask “How can evangelicals support Donald Trump?” need to read this book to understand why. A searing and sobering book, one that should be read by anyone who wants to grasp our political moment and the religious movement that helped get us here.” Darren Dochuk “This deeply perceptive book establishes Kristin Kobes Du Mez as the Christian critic of this crisis moment. Highly recommended, especially at this critical moment in religious, cultural, and political history.” Brian D. A scholarly work of history, but it is so well written that it promises to be popular with a wide audience.
