Thank you

Thanks for reading!

“Jesus and John Wayne” by K.K.DuMez does a great job explaining this. Also recommend “Ministers of Propaganda” by Scott Coley.

Man, this book is so damn good.

Can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite books of the year.

We've hit the halfway mark for 2025 reading list. What!? Looking forward the the second half of the year.

And @mcoleyyy.bsky.social can attest that the first thing I do with a new hardcover is toss the dust jacket. 😂

Just saw this—thanks so much for reading!

I’m late to my own book club… well barely finishing the book before we meet in an hour. Wowzers. This was a good read. Excellent work @scottmcoley.bsky.social and props to @eerdmansbooks.bsky.social

Can’t wait to hear what other readers thought.

(I misplaced the dust jacket in St Louis 😆)

Thank you!

Outstanding. HIGHLY recommend this book by @scottmcoley.bsky.social

Ministers of Propaganda is now 50% off on Amazon—just over $13 for hardcover!

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

Eggs? In this economy? Classic academic elite.

That’s tough. Even if the fact is conceded, it’s unlikely to penetrate the paradigm formed over decades in the absence of the relevant fact.

No apologies necessary! It was a generalization. Thank you for the insight and for your efforts!

Hence ‘many of’. I realize that many of you also helped build it and understand perfectly well what’s going on. I’m just astonished when I see so many folks watch military spending in Europe go up, erosion of US soft power, or the dismantling of the rule of law and think, “yeah that’s good.”

Conservative evangelicals hate moral relativism, right?

Right?

If you’re interested in using my book for a book club and you’d like me to give a talk or Q&A, let me know—I’d be delighted!

Just finished selecting the last books for our book club this year. We're currently meeting to discuss Beaty's book. I'm so excited for the next months! (13 books because technically we started last December). Do you see your book on the list?
