Psycho Therapy

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.

This booklet, written by Doug Wilson and Steve Wilkins, argues that slavery in the antebellum South was not the 'crushing oppression' often described. Instead, the authors claim that it was a predominantly patriarchal and benign institution marked by mutual affection and confidence between masters and slaves, attributing this harmony to the influence of Christianity. However, this perspective has been widely criticized for downplaying the systemic abuses and cruelties inherent in the institution of slavery.
