Description
Extensive analysis has been done trying to explain why a large percentage of White evangelicals voted in support of Trump, a candidate whose character was at odds with evangelical moral values. Scholars have identified the importance of Christian nationalism as a major factor, and this overlaps with the influence of Pentecostal demonology and spiritual warfare that was also a part, particularly among those labeled “court evangelicals.” In this podcast Phil Wyman, host of the Wild Theology podcast and author of Burning Religion, joins in a discussion with S. Jonathan O’Donnell on this topic. O’Donnell is a postdoctoral fellow in American Studies at University College Dublin, with a research focus on the intersection of religious demonology with systems of power in post-9/11 America. He is the author of Passing Orders: Demonology and Sovereignty in American Spiritual Warfare (Fordham University Press, 2020).
