This explains so much. Sometimes hard to read, especially with the most recent stuff, but so well laid out.

buckle up for this one- it’s a TOUGH read. multiple instances of wanting to throw the book across the room or scream. very very important research and information- especially in light of our current political environment. 10/10 would recommend. incredible book.

Well researched, scrupulously end-noted, and full of insights I hadn't expected, this book is phenomenal. Absolutely a must-read for people in Evangelicalism or coming out of it. Also, important for folks seeking to understand Christian Nationalism and its impact on US Politics.
