White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation

[lees1975]

8. The book will do exactly that.

I had a similar upbringing, raised Baptist, though not in the Bible belt, but saw the transition from the "evangelistic" mission and purpose to getting points of a culture war achieved. Most people sitting in a church on Sunday don't know what they believe, beyond what their preacher tells them and he gets most of his stuff from the celebrity televangelist crowd, who has embedded themselves in politics to keep the gravy train going and the money they need rolling in.

Not all of those who fall under the doctrinal description of "Evangelical" have headed this direction, though a large percentage of white Evangelicals have. They are pseudo-Christian, their nationalism lacks any of the gospel's values and they have no idea how lost they are.

Enjoy the book. I sure did.
