" How White Evangelicals Think is a book that meets the current moment. Drawing on decades of clinical expertise paired with an insider knowledge of the movement, Dave Verhaagen highlights the barriers facing white evangelicalism with an unsparing yet empathetic spirit. Those inside white evangelicalism as well as those outside it will benefit from wrestling with what Verhaagen shows us." --Andrew L. Whitehead, author of Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States "A number of authors have offered important analysis of alarming trends among US white evangelicals. Dave Verhaagen takes a psychologist's perspective here, and his diagnosis centering on collective vulnerable narcissism is a breakthrough proposal that rings sadly true. This book must be added to a handful of others that constitute essential reading about what has gone so very badly, dangerously wrong with US white evangelicalism." --David P.
