In July, Doug Pagitt sat down with author and historian Kristin Du Mez to talk about her book on militant Christian nationalism called Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Unfortunately Christian Nationalist rhetoric and violence has only increased in recent months making this conversation more timely than ever.
Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. She holds a PhD from the University of Notre Dame and her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics. She has written for the Washington Post, Religion News Service, Christianity Today, Christian Century, and Religion & Politics, and has been interviewed on NPR’s Morning Edition, CTV, the CBC, and by CNN, the New York Times, the Economist, the Christian Post, PBS News Hour, and the AP, among other outlets.
