Erecting the Pulpit
Muscular Christianity from Teddy Roosevelt to Donald Trump
Book •
Amy Laura Hall's 'Erecting the Pulpit' traces the history and influence of muscular Christianity in the United States, linking nineteenth-century figures like Teddy Roosevelt to contemporary political-religious movements.
The book examines how ideals of vigorous, leader-focused Christianity shaped institutions, sermon cultures, and political alliances throughout modern American history.
Hall draws on archival research, cultural analysis, and case studies of church movements to show how these masculinized religious ideals intersect with nationalism and power.
She explores the role of parachurch organizations, leadership training, and influential donors in promoting dominionist and muscular visions within evangelicalism.
The work aims to reveal the networks and rhetoric that have shaped mainstream and extreme expressions of American religious leadership.
