Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Suzie Althens' performance is the perfect match for Kristin Kobes du Mez’s complex narrative. Her deep, resonant voice lends an authoritative feel to the audiobook, making even the most dense historical arguments accessible and compelling. The pacing keeps listeners engaged throughout, with just the right mix of academic analysis and personal anecdotes that humanize the broader historical trends. However, some chapters could have benefited from more nuance in their critique of evangelical ideology. Overall, 'Jesus and John Wayne' is a must-listen for anyone interested in American religious history or the intersection of faith and politics.
