Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation Kristin Kobes Du Mez May 2020 Jesus and John Wayne is an account of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, and makes the compelling argument that American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of Christian nationalism and a s a result, they function largely as a political movement rather than a theologically driven religious community. Du Mez covers individuals and aspects of the Evangelical movement, from shows like VeggieTales to political figures like Oliver North . Editor's Note: Summarizing the 300-page research-based non-fiction is pretty difficult. In short, the historic overview may help you come to grips with the multitude of conflicting narratives pushed by what is now recognized as the new conservative mainstream. BUY NOW Previous Next

The Monkey Wrench Gang Edward Abbey August 1975 Written in shortly after his time working for the National Parks Service in Utah and Arizona , Edward Abbey's novel concerns the use of sabotage in the face of ecocide to protest environmentally damaging activities in the Southwestern United States . It was so influential that the term "monkeywrenching" , often used as a verb, has come to mean, besides sabotage and damage to machines, any sabotage, activism, law-making, or law-breaking to preserve wilderness, wild spaces and ecosystems. The book's four main characters are ecologically minded misfits—"Seldom Seen" Smith, a Jack Mormon river guide; Doc Sarvis, an odd but wealthy and wise surgeon; Bonnie Abbzug, his young feminist assistant; and a rather eccentric Green Beret Vietnam veteran , George Hayduke . Together, although not always working as a tightly knit team, they form the titular group dedicated to the destruction of what they see as the system that pollutes and destroys their environment, the American West . As the gang's attacks on deserted bulldozers and trains continue, the law closes in. BUY NOW Previous Next
