The book delves into the history of American evangelicalism, focusing on how white evangelicals have promoted a militant, patriarchal form of masculinity that has aligned with figures like John Wayne and, more recently, Donald Trump. Du Mez argues that this form of masculinity has been central to the political and social transformations within white evangelicalism, leading to the strong support for Trump despite his controversial character. The book also critiques the abuse and corruption within evangelical leadership and explores the broader implications for American society and politics.
In 'Wild at Heart,' John Eldredge argues that men have been conditioned away from their natural instincts and desires for adventure, battle, and exploration. He posits that men need to reclaim their hearts and live from a place of deep passion and purpose. The book critiques modern societal expectations and offers a vision of masculinity that is rooted in biblical principles but also acknowledges the need for men to engage in meaningful struggles and adventures. However, the book has faced criticism for its handling of Scripture and its portrayal of biblical themes[5][6].
