Angela Denker on her book "Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood"

This book, edited by John Piper and Wayne Grudem, presents a thorough defense of complementarianism, addressing gender roles through biblical exegesis and theological analysis. It features contributions from over 20 influential scholars, providing insights into the proper relationship between men and women in various contexts.

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.
