Why it’s on the list: Du Mez traces seventy-five years of American evangelical culture — the books, radio shows and masculinity models — to explain a political alignment that surprised outsiders in 2016.
Where I saw it: Recommended in a BookTok video by Bearded Reader / Adam (@beardedreaderadam) — “nonfiction books to radicalize your reading” — saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Video: https://www.tiktok.com/@beardedreaderadam/video/7463695024874605870
