HERETIC: A QUEER REVOLT AGAINST EVANGELICALISM (PB)

Heretic is a memoir of rebirth. Kadlec reckons with religious trauma and Midwestern values, as a means of unveiling how evangelicalism directly impacts every American--religious or not--and has been a major force in driving our democracy towards fascism. From the story of Lilith to celebrity purity rings, Kadlec interrogates how her indoctrination and years of piety intersects with her Midwest working-class upbringing. Another insidious truth began to reveal itself --that conservative Christianity has both built and undermined our political power structures.
