CHAPTER

The Church of Fear and Political Power

This chapter examines the emergence of the 'Church of Fear' within white evangelical communities, analyzing its ties to political engagement and apocalyptic perspectives. It contrasts this with 'thin Christianity,' addressing the decline of mainline Protestant influence and the church's growing alignment with political ideologies. Through discussions on the teachings of Jesus and the implications of power dynamics in Christianity, the chapter critiques the disconnect between faith and contemporary political movements.
