Jesus & John Wayne: Episode 1: Cold Warriors (The '50s & 60's)
The Holy Post
Exploring Moral Clarity and Nostalgia in Cold War Christianity
The chapter delves into the concept of moral clarity and nostalgia for the Cold War era in the American Church, discussing the desire to return to a time when America was seen as Christian with clear distinctions between good and evil. It explores how the resurgence of Cold War categories post 9-11 has impacted Christian values and identities, especially in the context of racial inequality and the Vietnam War period. The chapter also examines the shift in conservative ideologies post the Cold War, focusing on internal threats like liberals or Soviet sympathizers, and how this narrative was used for political power, notably during the presidency of Donald Trump.
