{"title":"Apocalypse deferred: Evangelical imagination and the decline of White Christian America","authors":"Ken Paradis, Andrew Connolly","doi":"10.1111/jacc.13532","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jacc.13532","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Two decades ago, in the years on either side of the turn of the millennium, American evangelical culture (i.e., White evangelical culture) was at the apex of its cultural influence and demographic reach, and a certain sense of immanent Apocalypse or victorious revelation of a righteous new order was in the air. There was a sense that America had badly lost its way and that people of faith were being persecuted in this society now under the spell of secular humanism, but that revival was happening and the tide was turning. Since the 1970s, the evangelical subculture had coalesced within a coherent mediasphere that reflected the world back to them in the image of their faith, huge church complexes had sprouted up across suburbia, the Christian Right had given the silent majority a powerful political voice, and sophisticated parachurch organizations such as Focus on the Family were shaping public discourse around key moral ideas. Evangelical girls were embracing their God-given purity, evangelical men were discovering the divine truth of their wild-at-heart masculinity and evangelicals young and old were reveling in thrillers that dramatized the sense that the end of days was at hand and ultimate victory was imminent. A contract with America had been forged to return the nation to its truth, an evangelical president was in the White House leading a crusade against savage infidels who hated America for its freedom, and a Joshua Generation of homeschooled evangelical children had begun to emerge, to finish the blessed reconquest of their nation.</p><p>But over the past two decades, that sweet sense of immanent political, cultural, and eschatological triumph has soured. Geopolitical crusades bogged down, purity culture femininity and heroic Christian masculinity collapsed under the weight of their own contradictions in a changing culture, and instead of carrying the banner of cultural conquest the younger generation of White evangelicals have increasingly questioned their elders' priorities and the church itself. The narrative of national decline and evangelical resistance in the face of persecution and oppression had been powerfully mobilizing during the period when it was easy to believe that the decline would soon be reversed, but it acquired a different valence in the period when the dream of the restoration of a White Christian America started to seem less and less possible, at least within the framework of democratic politics and existing institutions. In the wake of America's first Black President, homosexual marriage becoming law of the land, the #MeToo, #ChurchToo, and Black Lives Matter movements, as well as the ascension of Donald Trump, members of the social and political formation Robert Jones calls “White Christian America” increasingly articulated their anxieties around declining influence in new formations of politicized faith structured not around church basement prayer groups, but around Fox News and Facebook, YouTube, Gab, Parler,","PeriodicalId":44809,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AMERICAN CULTURE","volume":"47 1","pages":"3-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jacc.13532","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140254208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
