One part\u00a0Educated<\/i>, one part rebuttal to\u00a0Hillbilly Elegy<\/i>,\u00a0On Fire for God\u00a0<\/i>explores the ways evangelical Christianity has preyed upon its followers while galvanizing them into the political force known today as the Christian right.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOf all the books I’ve read about young people devastated by the fundamentalist religion they’ve grown up with, this one stands out.\u201d\u00ad\u2014 Frances FitzGerald, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of\u00a0The Evangelicals<\/i><\/p>\n

Exvangelical journalist Josiah Hesse grew up in the stifling working-class town of Mason City, Iowa, raised in the institutions of fundamentalist Christianity: a toxic mixture of schools, ministries, and religious camps that taught creationism, instilled sexual shame, and foretold horrific tales of the rapture. In the churches where he worshipped, pastors siphoned their flocks\u2019 wealth while preaching a doctrine of prosperity. Meanwhile, as economic struggles grew in the community, Hesse’s fellow believers lambasted organized labor and shunned the social safety net, becoming an army for God against the evils of progressivism. Only upon escaping Iowa in search of something more would he consider the possibility that the world wasn\u2019t about to end and that he was woefully unprepared for a future he\u2019d never believed would arrive.<\/p>\n

Written in vivid prose,\u00a0On Fire for God\u00a0<\/i>is both an unflinching memoir of religious trauma and survival and a stirring examination of the emotional, political, and sociological effects of the Christian right. Returning to his hometown in search of answers about his upbringing and the political forces at work in the region, Hesse calls into question prevailing theories about the disappearing working class that point to opioids, automation, or globalism as the culprits. His story of awakening and escape exposes how conservative Christian con men have, over generations, trapped working-class believers in an isolated bubble of racism, xenophobia, and self-imposed martyrdom, while stripping communities like his of their wealth and self-esteem. In\u00a0On Fire for God,\u00a0<\/i>Hesse plumbs the depths of his own experience to illuminate, with deep feeling and piercing immediacy, what he describes as the socioeconomic tragedy of the American working class.<\/p>\n
