737: The Surprising Origin of Evangelical Femininity with Kristin Kobes Du Mez
The Holy Post
Outro
Phil Vischer thanks Kristin Kobes Du Mez, promotes the bonus Elizabeth Elliot interview and book, and closes with podcast support information.
Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of the best-selling "Jesus and John Wayne," is back with another look at the forces that shaped modern American evangelicalism. This time she explores the backstory of evangelical femininity in her new book, "Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made." Also this week: Phil wants to know what links three recent celebrity deaths—Dolly Parton, Gloria Steinem, and Wendell Berry. To the surprise of many, The Christian Post has published an anti-Christian nationalist article. Is it a sign that the evangelical support for MAGA is finally turning? Plus, weird science awards.
