Quotes by Kristin Kobes Du Mez (?)

“For a community that believed in the existence of sin, conservative evangelicals were curiously nonchalant about the dangers of unchecked power when that power was placed in the hands of a patriarch.”

“In the 1987 book One Nation Under God, Christian Reconstructionist Rus Walton offered a robust defense of preventive war. Suppose a “thug,” a barbarian, a “depraved maniac,” threatened your wife or daughter. “What would you do? When would you move to protect her? Before the attacker made his advance? . . . When he began ripping the clothes from her body?” Yes, Jesus might have instructed his followers to love their enemies, but not His enemies.”
― Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation

“Michael Gerson sought to lead evangelicals out of "temptation," warning that President Trump's "tribalism and hatred for 'the other' stand in direct opposition to Jesus's radical ethic of neighbor love." Quoting Matthew 6, columnist Cal Thomas reminded evangelicals that "No one can serve two masters," and he challenged Christians to choose their true master, Jesus or Trump: "They can't serve both." But, for evangelicals who have transformed the Jesus of the Gospels into a model of militant masculinity, the conflict is not apparent.”
