Laura’s Reviews > The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism > Status Update

I'm really pushing to finish at this point. I think the author brings up some great talking points but now it's just huckster after huckster. All of the people featured are starting to blend together into one charlatan preacher/salesman/campaign manager blob.

Another powerful quote : " It made me wonder about Trumpism and the American evangelical movement. Was deconstruction even possible without atonement from the people who'd been part of the problem?"
The author dismisses the growing movement of personal deconstruction. It is not just individual interpretations of scripture but total rethinking of the institution of Christianity. The author still supports the church.

So many thoughts .I didn't realize the author is still a Christian. It affects his bias. At one point the preacher asks whether they should keep a political rant in a donation video. It was edited out but at no point has the author mentioned churches are not allowed to be political no matter what?! He also acts shocked that churches are authoritarian. Growing up as a girl in the church that was not a surprise.
