A estas alturas no hace falta recordar lo que se esconde (o ya ni eso) tras la cruz. Pero lo recordamos con este librazo de @kkdumez.bsky.social, que nos habla de EEUU pero anticipa lo que puede suceder, y ya está sucediendo, en otros países de cualquier continente, no solo del americano.

So excited! I just got tickets to the Live, Laugh, Love book tour in Denton, TX. So excited to hear Dr. @kkdumez.bsky.social speak again!

For those in the UK, Waterstones is running a special preorder discount this week on LIVE LAUGH LOVE. 📚

Thrilled to learn that Kirkus has awarded LIVE LAUGH LOVE a starred review. 🌟

A perfect song for today:

Aprilcots@aprilcots.bsky.social · 3w ago

My new favorite song (language warning). @kkdumez.bsky.social, I’m thinking they liked your book… “I liked the teachings of Jesus so much that I followed him right out the door. Steeples kept preaching with hate on their tongues And distaste for the meek, mild, and poor.” #exmo

I say this as a student of history @kkdumez.bsky.social just wrote the ANOTHER most important history of American Evangelicalism. The fact that a LOT of cultural stuff in Evangelicalism that men have loudly preached were first presented by women? Seriously knowledge is power folks…

Our Church & State 250+ guests have written some of the most important books on faith, politics, race, history, and American identity. Explore their work and purchase the books through our Bookshop collection: bookshop.org/lists/church...

I will tap the sign! Everybody please read Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted A Faith And Fractured A Nation by KRISTIN KOBES DU MEZ @kkdumez.bsky.social bc jfc

Pastor Martin Sedra fumes that "America has created this gay version of Jesus Christ": "Jesus was not effeminate. Jesus was a bold lion. I always tell people Jesus was not a soft guy. He had six packs. He was the most ripped guy you'll ever meet."

Dishonesty isn’t just one of Doug Wilson’s annoying quirks. It is deliberate strategy. open.substack.com/pub/kristind...

When Doug Wilson says he lies, believe him

Yes, we need to hear what Doug Wilson says. But we also need to know when to believe him.

This is such a great interview, and read the comments, too, to see how the book resonate with so many people. DAMNED IF SHE DOES releases Sept 15. Preorder now and get a special candle! 🕯️

As ever, @kkdumez.bsky.social is generous with her time, care and reach. Check out our Q&A about my forthcoming book, Damned If She Does (with a link to a fun preorder bonus). substack.com/home/post/p-...

Pues preparaos para esta barbaridad de @kathleenbelew.bsky.social que nos explica la historia del supremacismo blanco y el movimiento paramilitar de extrema derecha en EEUU y que publicamos en noviembre, en la semana de las elecciones de medio mandato en EEUU. Si las hay. 'Traed la guerra casa'.

I don't know who annotated this copy of "Jesus and John Wayne" by @kkdumez.bsky.social but it's really enhancing my reading experience, thank you

“It’s just striking to see these interpretations that now completely exempt the actions of government from religious or even ethical obligation towards (the) less fortunate,” said John Compton…author of the book “The End of Empathy: Why White Protestants Stopped Loving Their Neighbors.”

NEW: I spoke to Sen. Warnock last month, and he told me his recent meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson touched on a theological debate that has emerged in Congress. Namely: how to interpret Matthew 25, when Jesus calls on disciples to care for the "least of these." religionnews.com/2026/07/01/i...

Excited to read @kkdumez.bsky.social next book! Btw, it’s available for pre-order here: wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Today and tomorrow only, preorder LIVE LAUGH LOVE for 25% off at B&N. If JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE made you want to throw it across the room, this one’s worse. And more important. Once you see it, you won’t be able to unsee it.

So Trump's racist targeting of Haitians and Syrians gets SCOTUS approval. Meanwhile, Trump is giving white South African refugees welcome bags with a PragerU children’s book on so-called reverse racism, and a document that defends the country’s founding on slavery. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

There actually are extremely well-paying academic jobs in the humanities . . . provided you are willing to become a conservative hack who promotes "viewpoint diversity" rather than peer-reviewed scholarship.
