Devils of Democracy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is the ideal book for anyone puzzled by the sudden surge in talk about angels, demons, and spiritual warfare in our politics. Heyes ably demonstrates that the American religious imagination has always tended toward the lurid and apocalyptic. While openly agnostic about the existence of actual demons, Devils of Democracy offers a valuable (and alarming) history of the role of demonizing in American rhetoric and politics.”

Disciples of White Jesus

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Denker has seized the bull by the horns with Disciples of White Jesus, a searing and personal look into the thorny entanglement of race, religion, and politics in America. Read this book if you want to be challenged to think differently--indeed, Christianly!--about white masculinity.”

Strange Worship

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Drew Strait’s hopeful, disarming, and sincere book offers a practical refutation of American Christian nationalism. Grounded in a nonviolent, Anabaptist tradition of interpretation and an incisive grasp of the message of Jesus, Strange Worship cuts to the heart of the politicized debates now roiling American Christianity. If you are a leader or a layperson who feels stymied in how to resist the rising tide of Christian nationalism, this is the book for you.”

Weapons of Worship

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With a worship leader's insights and a journalist's shrewdness, Rick Pidcock peels back the appealing façade of the evangelical worship music industrial complex. In the process, he exposes some of the foundational infrastructure for the authoritarian turn in modern American Christianity.”
