I heard about this book prior to the 2016 presidential election, but didn't get a chance to read it until after the election. The End of White Christian America explores how the power and influence of Christian Protestants has been declining in the U.S. in the last several decades. Jones's research shows that mainline Protestants have been declining for longer than evangelical Protestants, but both are in decline due to reduced numbers of parishioners, changing demographics and younger generations having different priorities. I think the most interesting aspect of this book was the eulogy at the end. Jones details how White Christian America is dealing with its decline and what it should be doing to make itself more relevant to the future. Because this book was written before the election of Donald Trump, I do wonder what Jones would have to say about the results of the 2016 election. This is a fascinating look at the history of Christians and politics in the United States; how they rose to power and why they are falling out of favor. It will be interesting to see where they go from here.
